The resolution 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 businesses in Louisiana. This initiative is in response to the challenges faced by businesses in finding qualified workers, despite having more job openings than unemployed individuals. The resolution highlights the importance of adapting workforce training programs to meet evolving business demands and the necessity of evaluating the current program's performance before its scheduled sunset in July 2026.

The study will involve input from a diverse range of stakeholders, including chambers of commerce, economic development organizations, labor representatives, and users of the training program. The findings and recommendations from this study, which may include potential changes to statutory, regulatory, or programmatic aspects of the training account, are to be submitted to the House and Senate committees on labor and industrial relations by February 1, 2026. This effort aims to enhance workforce solutions and support the long-term economic development and competitiveness of Louisiana.
