New GAO report on one-stops, employment and training

The Government and Accountability Office has released a new report titled "Employment and Training Programs: Opportunities Exist for Improving Efficiency." One recommendation from the report states:

"We recently recommended that the Secretaries of Labor and HHS work together to develop and disseminate information that could inform such efforts, including information on state initiatives to consolidate program administrative structures and state and local efforts to colocate additional programs at one-stop centers. As part of this effort, we recommended that Labor and HHS examine the incentives for states and localities to undertake such initiatives and, as warranted, identify options for increasing them. In their responses, Labor and HHS agreed with our recommendations. In addition, GAO is currently examining innovative one-stop strategies to enhance collaboration with employers and economic development partners to better meet local labor market needs."
