SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. The American Workforce Policy
Advisory Board
Our nation is facing a skills crisis.
There are currently 6.7 million unfilled
jobs in the United States, and American
workers need the skills training to fill
them. At the same time, the economy is
changing at a rapid pace because of the
technology, automation, and artificial
intelligence that is shaping many
industries, from manufacturing to
healthcare to retail. For too long, our
country’s education and job training
programs have prepared Americans for
the economy of the past.
The rapidly changing digital economy
requires the United States to view
education and training as encompassing
more than a single period of time in a
traditional classroom. We need to
prepare Americans for the 21st century
economy and the emerging industries of
the future. We must foster an
environment of lifelong learning and
skills-based training and cultivate a
demand-driven approach to workforce
development.
To address the skills crisis, the
President issued E.O. 13845 to establish
the National Council for the American
Worker (Council). The executive order
directs the Council to champion
effective, results-driven education and
training so that American students and
workers can obtain the skills they need
to succeed in the jobs of today and of
the future. This notice announces the
establishment of the American
Workforce Policy Advisory Board
(Board), pursuant to E.O. 13845 and in
accordance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), as amended (5
U.S.C. App.), to support the Council.
The Board will provide advice and
recommendations to the Council on the
workforce policy of the United States.
One of the Board’s activities will be to
recommend steps to encourage the
private sector and educational
institutions to combat the skills crisis by
investing in and increasing demanddriven workforce development,
education, training, and re-training, for
example through apprenticeships and
work-based learning opportunities.
Unless otherwise extended, the Board
will terminate July 19, 2020, two years
after the date of the Executive Order.
Insofar as the FACA may apply to the
Board, the Secretary of Commerce will
perform any functions of the President
under that act, except for those in
section 6 and section 14 of FACA, and
will do so in accordance with the
guidelines issued by the Administrator
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
of General Services. The Department of
Commerce shall provide the Board with
funding and administrative support as
may be necessary for the performance of
the Board’s functions.
The Board will be made up of two cochairs—the Secretary of Commerce and
the Advisor to the President overseeing
the Office of Economic Initiatives—and
up to 25 members appointed by the
President from among citizens outside
the Federal government. Members
chosen will be representatives of the
various sectors of the economy,
including the private sector, employers,
educational institutions, and State
governments, to offer diverse
perspectives on how the Federal
Government can improve workforce
development through education,
training, and re-training for American
workers. The Board members appointed
by the President could include business
leaders; administrators and educators of
K–12 schools, community colleges, and
universities; State, tribal, and local
government officials; heads of organized
labor; and leaders from the nonprofit
sector. The President will make
reasonable efforts to ensure members
represent a diverse spectrum of these
sectors.
All members appointed by the
President will be representative
members and serve at the pleasure of
the President. The membership balance
may adjust depending on the needs of
the President, Secretary, and the work of
the Council.
II. Description of Board Member Duties
The Board will advise the Council in
the Council’s efforts to work with
private employers, educational
institutions, labor unions, other nonprofit organizations, and State,
territorial, tribal, and local governments
to update and reshape our education
and job training landscape so that it
better meets the needs of American
students, workers, and businesses.
Members must be able to actively
participate in the tasks of the Board
including, but not limited to regularly
attending and participating in meetings,
reviewing materials, and participating
in conference calls, working groups, and
formal subcommittees. The Board may
advise the Council in any of its efforts,
so the President will consider nominees
who can best support, in an advisory
capacity, any of the following Council
functions:
• Devising a national strategy for
empowering American workers on how
the Federal government can work with
non-Federal stakeholders to create and
promote workforce development
strategies that provide evidence-based,

affordable education and skills-based
training for youth and adults to prepare
them for the jobs of today and of the
future;
• fostering close coordination,
cooperation, and information exchange
within the Federal government and
between the government and nonFederal stakeholders as related to issues
concerning the education and training
of Americans, including through the use
of online learning resources;
• increasing transparency related to
education and job-training program
options, including those options offered
at 4-year institutions and community
colleges;
• proposing ways to increase access
to available job data, including data on
industries and geographic locations
with the greatest numbers of open jobs
and projected future opportunities, as
well as data on the underlying skills
required to fill open jobs;
• developing a national campaign to
raise awareness of relevant matters,
such as the urgency of the skills crisis;
the importance of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics
education; the creation of new
industries and job opportunities spurred
by emerging technologies; the changing
nature of many careers in the trades and
manufacturing; and the need for
companies to invest in the training and
re-training of their workers;
• developing a plan for recognizing
companies that demonstrate excellence
in workplace education, training, and
re-training policies and investments, in
order to galvanize industries to identify
and adopt best practices, innovate their
workplace policies, and invest in their
workforces; and
• examining how the Federal
government can work with non-Federal
stakeholders to support the
implementation of recommendations
from the Task Force on Apprenticeship
Expansion established in Executive
Order 13801 of June 15, 2017
(Expanding Apprenticeships in
America).
III. Structure of Advisory Board
As stated above, the Secretary and the
Advisor to the President overseeing the
Office of Economic Initiatives will serve
as co-chairs. In addition to the co-chairs,
the Board shall consist of up to 25
members. The President will appoint
members and they will serve at the
pleasure of the President. The Secretary
will provide the President with a list of
potential nominees for final
consideration of Board membership.
Potential nominees will represent a
cross-section of the private sector, nonprofit, employers, educational

institutions, and States. The Secretary’s
list will ensure balance and a diversity
of perspectives. The Secretary’s
nominees will be prominent in their
fields, recognized for their professional
and other relevant achievements.
As necessary, the Board may
establish, with the consent or at the
direction of the Office of the Under
Secretary of Economic Affairs and the
Office of the Secretary, such
subcommittees as it considers necessary
for the performance of its functions. All
subcommittees must report back to the
full Board, members and subcommittees
must not provide advice or work
products directly to any Federal agency
or official.
Appointed Board members will serve
for a term of up to two years (the
balance of the initial term of the Board).
If the term of the Board is extended,
members shall be eligible for
reappointment, and may continue to
serve after the expiration of their terms
until the appointment of a successor.
When vacancies occur, the Secretary
will identify for appointment nominees
who can best either replicate the
perspective of the departing member or
provide the Board with a new,
identified needed perspective.

Board, will, upon request, be

law for persons serving intermittently in
