STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 17374
The Idaho Career Information System has operated continuously under
Executive Orders since 1980 as a cooperative venture between the Idaho
Department of Commerce, the Idaho Department of Labor, the Idaho State
Board of Education, the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation,
the Office of the Governor, and the Division of Professional-Technical
Education. The purpose of the Idaho Career Information System is to
provide current and accurate occupational, educational and related
career information to help Idaho citizens understand the link between
educational preparation and work, explore education and career
alternatives, and successfully seek work. The primary subscribers of
the products and services provided by the Idaho Career Information
System include 93% of secondary schools, colleges, universities, Idaho
Department of Labor local offices, Vocational Rehabilitation local
offices, and correctional facilities.
This legislation establishes the Idaho Career Information System
within the Idaho Department of Labor because the services and products
provided by the Idaho Career Information System are critical
components of the Department’s employment service and its workforce
development programs. Having the Idaho Career Information System
administered by the Department will create efficiencies and reduce the
system’s costs because the Department will update the Idaho Career
Information System’s computer technology and improve its access to
information available through the Department’s Research and Analysis
Bureau. Locating the Idaho Career Information System within the
Department of Labor will allow the Department to promote the system
through Department initiatives, thereby providing better public access
to career related information at the Department’s 24 statewide local
offices.
FISCAL NOTE
The Idaho Career Information System is included in the appropriated
budget for the Division of Professional-Technical Education for State
Fiscal Year 2008. The enactment of this legislation will have a
positive fiscal impact of $213,900 on the State General Fund. The
Idaho Career Information System will be funded by moneys generated by
the Idaho Career Information System and, if necessary, by the
Department’s Special Administration Fund, Section 72-1347A, Idaho
Code.
