WHEREAS, the establishment and appointment of a State Job Training Coordinating Council for Missouri is a condition for receipt of certain federal funds as required by Public Law 97-300 and regulations established thereunder by the United States Department of Labor; and

WHEREAS, the Omnibus State Reorganization Act of 1974 authorizes the Governor to create by executive order such councils as may be necessary to receive federal funds and to make such adjustments or modifications in the assignment of agencies, programs or operations as may be necessary to conform with the federal law or regulations to receive federal funds;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, CHRISTOPHER S. BOND, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of Missouri, hereby create and establish the Missouri Job Training Coordinating Council (MJTCC) to consist of such members, not to exceed thirty, as may from time to time be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The MJTCC shall be assigned for administrative purposes to the Division of Manpower Planning within the Department of Social Services.

In accordance with the terms of Public Law 97-300, Section 122 (a) (3), the MJTCC membership shall be as follows: Thirty-three percent shall represent business and industry, including Private Industry Council members; not less than twenty percent shall represent the General Assembly and relevant state agencies; not less than twenty percent shall be local elected officials (or their representatives) from units or consortia of units of local governments (nominated by chief elected officials); and, not less than twenty percent shall represent the eligible population, general public, community-based organizations, labor and local education agencies (nominated by local education agencies). Members of the MJTCC shall serve at the pleasure of the Governor.

In accordance with Public Law 97-300, Section 122 (b) (1-8), (c), the functions of the MJTCC shall be as follows:

  1. Make recommendations regarding the Governor's Coordination and Special Services Plan;
  2. Recommend to the Governor substate service delivery areas; plan resource allocations not subject to section 202 (a); provide management guidance and review for all programs in the State; develop appropriate linkages with other programs, coordinate activities with private industry councils; and develop the State Job Training Report and recommend variations in performance standards;
  3. Advise the Governor and local entities on job training plans and certify the consistency of such plans with criteria under the Governor's coordination and special services plan for coordination of activities under this Act with other federal, state and local employment-related programs, including programs operated in designated enterprise zones;
  4. Review the operation of programs conducted in each service delivery area, and the availability, responsiveness, and adequacy of state services, and make recommendations to the Governor, appropriate chief elected officials and private industry councils, service providers, the General Assembly, and the general public with respect to ways to improve the effectiveness of such programs or services;
  5. Review and comment on the State plan developed for the State employment service agency;
  6. Make an annual report to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Director of Social Services, which shall be a public document, and issue such other studies, reports, or documents as it deems advisable to assist service delivery areas in carrying out the purposes of Public Law 97-300;
  7. Identify, in coordination with the appropriate state agencies, the employment and training and vocational education needs throughout the state, and assess the extent to which employment and training, vocational education, rehabilitation services, public assistance, economic development, and other federal, state, and local programs and services represent a consistent, integrated, and coordinated approach to meeting such needs;
  8. Comment at least once annually on the reports required pursuant to section 105 (d) (3) of the Vocational Education Act of 1963; and
  9. Review plans of all state agencies providing employment, training and related services, and provide comments and recommendations to the Governor, the General Assembly, the state agencies, and the appropriate federal agencies on the relevancy and effectiveness of employment and training and related service delivery systems in the state.

In addition to the functions set forth above, the Governor may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, transfer functions which are related to functions under Public Law 97-300 to the MJTCC from any state coordinating committee for the work incentive program under title IV of the Social Security Act or any advisory council established under the Wagner-Peyser Act.

As provided by federal law, the functions of the Private Industry Council for Balance of State-Missouri, the State Youth Employment Council and the State Employment and Training Council will expire on September 30, 1983; therefore, this Order shall be effective upon execution and shall supercede any and all Executive Orders pertaining to the same subjects, including Reorganization Plan No. 11 of 1980 and Executive Order 80-8, Reorganization Plan No. 12 of 1980 and Executive Order 80-9, and Reorganization Plan No. 13 and Executive Order 80-10.
