(2) When will the workforce development forums be held?
(3) How many forums will be held, and how often?
(4) Will there be any costs involved in holding these workforce development forums?
(5) If yes to (4), will these costs be coming entirely out of the Department of Training and Workforce Development’s budget or will costs be shared with the Department of Commerce?
(6) f the costs will be shared, is there a formal agreement between Agencies, or is this still to be obtained?
(7) What are the time frames attached to this short term priority?
