Committee members and staff said edits incorporated public and email comments from the previous board meeting. Multiple members raised concern about paragraph 9 in the draft, which as written staff worried could imply the board would exercise influence over federal policy or perform compliance activities outside the board’s current capacity. Members suggested rewording to emphasize monitoring, advising or advocating rather than suggesting enforcement or direct federal influence.

Members urged the board to uphold quality standards for jobs supported by public funds, including wage and working‑conditions considerations and safety oversight, but several acknowledged limits to the board’s enforcement capacity. A former Cal/OSHA compliance officer on the committee emphasized safety and working‑conditions language and urged that funding not support substandard jobs.

Staff committed to wordsmith paragraph 9 and provide revised language to the three committee members leading the draft by next Wednesday; staff said they will then share the revised draft with the full board and place it on an upcoming action agenda if the three members approve it. Committee members also noted public interest in the item and said there may be public comment at the full board meeting when the item is presented.

No final vote was taken in the executive committee meeting; staff will return with updated language for committee review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CWDB Executive Committee Meeting 5/14/25","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members debated language in a draft resolution setting standards for infrastructure‑related funds, raising concerns about item 9's scope and staff capacity; staff will revise the wording and provide updated language to committee members by next Wednesday.","taxTitle","California Workforce Development Board, Agencies under Office of the Governor, Executive, California","taxId",70073,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6560892,"CWDB executive committee hears next steps for Eligible Training Provider List review",139,1156000,1295000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3306013-f4fa04afd310c63b80c162fcad87e51d&start=1156&end=1295","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3306013-f4fa04afd310c63b80c162fcad87e51d/thumbnail_1156000.jpg","/articles/6560892/California/CWDB-executive-committee-hears-next-steps-for-Eligible-Training-Provider-List-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6560892-204f04deb0f26ed5573fe9470151213f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185774&Signature=FocsaqCxDycGUZBZbT2CmrdGHoe7rhheDzkkGP71yNXi4Em9PnDg9NTbEN1L5Kw-5YrFRLGgcyvROiIViUpCcykh29TVzK5qB5ut7fdUmdWdyEGMxY68zHtrdPspqa82FXodrtGf5i5y67CVPOqVHHPlGGAXtAAxy5NxmYNkotP722tGEyHi2NqxKV3JVSlSsQcziYr6WapkWntT2Wf8ESoLibHjVoARQy75ZBbjSwc89elDL7FkXaASOXj6tSOS7bhZmZYJYH5ki-FUlQ-R1oOnCsKe47SudQVsRqbXeoXjK2U8pyoOee0VVheSxfJBtfTuhp~6-r6Vje6hrN3zUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The executive committee received an update on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) review and next steps.

Staff reported the ETPL advisory group has begun categorizing issues into three buckets: items requiring legislation, items that require secondary administrative action, and items that could be addressed through procedural or process changes. The group plans to sift issues and bring forward recommendations that benefit job seekers and workers rather than recommending changes solely for administrative convenience.

Staff scheduled a follow‑up meeting and said the review will continue through August, with recommendations to be brought to the board at a future meeting.

Staff cautioned that multiple board members participating directly could raise Bagley‑Keene open‑meeting issues and said attendance and coordination will be handled with that in mind.

Staff said the master plan, released April 23, includes elements tied to the state budget — state coordination, regional coordination, and development of a career passport hosted by the community college system. The career passport is being presented as a tool to increase skills‑based hiring by allowing people to demonstrate skills earned outside traditional academic settings.

Staff outlined a roadshow planned to run from June through October to visit the state’s 13 territories. The first visits are expected to cover North State, Redwood Coast, Bay Area and San Joaquin; staff said a broader visit timed for the September board meeting will aim to gather more board members in Sacramento. Staff said regional pilots will test concepts identified by Boston Consulting Group’s research in three use‑case regions: the Gulf Far North, Inland Empire and Los Angeles.

Staff emphasized employer vetting as part of career passport development and said the board is engaging the California Chamber of Commerce and plans outreach to SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) to identify employers who will accept skills demonstrated through the passport. The board also reported philanthropic support for initial regional coordination and named the Hilton Foundation as a supporter for a Los Angeles partnership building on United LA’s work with opportunity youth and health care employers.

Staff said the 13 regional plans have been recognized by the federal Economic Development Administration as SEDS equivalents, which staff said opens federal funding pathways; staff described this as a step that could help regions apply for federal resources to support projects identified in regional plans.

Staff also said the board will invite local board directors and industry trade representatives to join some roadshow visits and that advisory groups will be asked to gather and surface regional industry demand to the state. The work was described as a multi‑month effort to build employer trust and align regional boundaries and planning units across state systems.

No formal board action was taken on the update; staff said the roadshow planning will continue and that more details will be shared before the next full board meeting.","Board staff described a roadshow across 13 territories from June to October to engage local boards, community colleges and employers in implementing the Master Plan for Career Education and developing a career passport and regional pilots.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6560905,"CWDB executive committee unanimously approves Feb. 12 meeting summary",13,242000,255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3306013-f4fa04afd310c63b80c162fcad87e51d&start=242&end=255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3306013-f4fa04afd310c63b80c162fcad87e51d/thumbnail_242000.jpg","/articles/6560905/California/CWDB-executive-committee-unanimously-approves-Feb-12-meeting-summary","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6560905-2762152b28a8fbd59172a2ad6b592e80/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185774&Signature=mxn8b9XJUkBYW76ZpboeqjHy8e5doIlFr8bBI~daBmnu58RalyVNL8enoQztkzhaHM7h9DbXW2nP76IXX40C7iJVufEaKMvs~NRPusHGPKlP-10-VCtcWU1UYPz5ors0q8-63Qxyc7gOuUuBbSxgNH0Rz-EF6STKzqP8datJmcfjMxrCwRTXw2cjNa~~~UWHsl4q06Vbn6S9sfEe053t6Fvkxbg1eFbNkX10mo3Qo9qwDVqlSQWL32AFHdPQCtdj9LtvBdf9lsEq2SlNOcGVPiCcYmnwBTtTvYP5VYJnKRuBwQqLv5oZUuYMEbZsnV6DgCjRepN9nN39s4RR6U07uw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California Workforce Development Board executive committee voted unanimously to approve the summary of the board’s Feb. 12 executive committee meeting.
