Workforce Investment System Initiative in Support of Homeland Security As It Relates to the Federalization of the Nation's Airports

Purpose

To inform the Workforce Investment System and its service providers of roles and responsibilities involved in responding to the statutorily mandated federalization of airport security. The federal government anticipates that the number of layoffs of current screeners is likely to be substantial, especially in larger airports. The President has requested that the Department of Labor ensure, through the state and local workforce system, the provision of quick, user-friendly, valuable and compassionate help to those current screeners who will lose their jobs through this process. Because the airport security function at all airports must be federalized by November 19, 2002, timely provision of meaningful services will be very important.

In addition, the Workforce Investment System is ideally positioned to assist the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in its efforts to recruit thousands of new security screeners. To date, several of the One-Stop systems in large cities have been responsible for managing TSA job fairs with great success. The Department of Labor is pursuing a more formal partnership role with TSA to assist in recruitment efforts. More information in this regard will be forwarded in the near future.
