Committee of workforce and labor market information experts 
representing a broad range of national, State, and local data and 
information users and producers. The purpose of the WIAC is to provide 
recommendations to the Secretary of Labor, working jointly through the 
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training and the Commissioner of 
Labor Statistics, to address: (1) The evaluation and improvement of the 
nationwide workforce and labor market information (WLMI) system and 
statewide systems that comprise the nationwide system; and (2) how the 
Department and the States will cooperate in the management of those 
systems. These systems include programs to produce employment- related 
statistics and State and local workforce and labor market information.
    The Department of Labor anticipates the WIAC will accomplish its 
objectives by: (1) Studying workforce and labor market information 
issues; (2) seeking and sharing information on innovative approaches, 
new technologies, and data to inform employment, skills training,

(3) advising the Secretary on how the workforce and labor market 
information system can best support workforce development, planning, 
and program development. Additional information is available at

    Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the process of identifying and 
reviewing issues and aspects of the WLMI system and statewide systems 
that comprise the nationwide system and how the Department and the 
States will cooperate in the management of those systems. As part of 
this process, the Advisory Council meets to gather information and to 
engage in deliberative and planning activities to facilitate the 
development and provision of its recommendations to the Secretary in a 
timely manner.
    Agenda: Beginning at 8:30 a.m. on November 1, 2017, the Advisory 
Council will briefly review the minutes of the previous meeting held on

LMI experts and representatives from the Employment and Training 
Administration and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. WIAC will review 
recommendations for the two-year plan proposed by each sub-committee 
and facilitate further discussion. The meeting will end for the day 
4:30 p.m.
    The meeting will resume at 8:30 a.m. on November 2, 2017. The 
second day will continue the previous day's discussions. The WIAC chair
