Wisconsin. Governor's Employment and Training Office

The Governor's Employment and Training Office was created by Executive order 14 in 1979 to assume the function of the State Manpower Council (see WIHV85-A909). Its duties were expanded by Executive Order 4 in 1983. In 1985, Assembly Bill 85 placed the Office within the Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations (see WIHV85-A482) as part of its Division of Employment and Training Policy.

The Office was charged with all statewide planning, administration and planning service responsibilities designated to the governor under the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982. The office had additional administrative responsibilities related to the management and oversight of the statewide employment and training system. It also provided staff support to the State Employment and Training Council and then to the State Job Training Coordinating Council, and administered the Governor's special CETA grants.
