Territory of the Virgin Islands of the United States Annual Report for Title I of the Workfoce Investment Act of 1998 for the Period of July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011.

摘要

The Virgin Islands is still feeling the reverberations of an unstable global economy. The fluctuating trend of mass layoffs followed by sporadic rehiring has become the new normal. The Virgin Islands Workforce System spent the better part of Program Year 2010 helping customers connect or reconnect to jobs. The increasing layoffs and long term unemployment also took its toll on the community with many seizing any work opportunity available and choosing to put training on the back burner. The challenge for the Workforce System was to facilitate the best fit between employer and job seeker. The decision to be proactive was the only decision to be made and the strategies employed all speak to customer reemployment.
