Senate Concurrent Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Workforce Commission to conduct a comprehensive study of the Incumbent Worker Training Account and its effectiveness in addressing the workforce needs of Louisiana businesses. This initiative arises from the challenges faced by businesses in finding qualified workers, despite a higher number of job openings than unemployed individuals. The resolution highlights the importance of adapting workforce solutions to meet evolving business demands and the necessity of evaluating the current training program, which has not undergone significant redesign since its establishment in 1998.

The resolution mandates that the study be informed by a diverse range of stakeholders, including business leaders, labor representatives, and educational institutions, to ensure a well-rounded perspective on workforce needs. The findings and recommendations from this study, which may include potential changes to statutory, regulatory, or programmatic aspects of the training program, are to be submitted to the relevant legislative committees by February 1, 2026. This effort is seen as crucial for enhancing Louisiana's economic development and competitiveness in the long term.
