Delaware unemployment rate

Directs the Department of State to select at least five licensing boards for priority review within 30 days and submit administrative, regulatory and legislative recommendations within 150 days. Requests and urges licensing boards to avoid new barriers unless justified by documented health or safety needs or required by law, and calls for more electronic processing. Proposed reforms include recognition of equivalent out-of-state experience and competency-based pathways. The order preserves statutory licensing standards and board authority; it does not itself enact universal license recognition. Priority selection is due within 30 days and recommendations within 150 days. Boards are requested and urged to avoid unsupported new barriers. Universal recognition, reduced training hours and expedited endorsements are recommendations subject to law, rather than universally enacted licensing rules. The chart does not isolate this action’s effect.

Rescinds paragraph 5 of Order 10, which designated the Office of Workforce Development as the WIOA Title I and Title III performance-accountability agency and grant recipient. Leaves other provisions in effect unless later amended. It does not expressly designate a replacement; remaining references to paragraph 5 in Order 10 are disclosed rather than interpreted as a new assignment. Other EO 10 provisions remain, including unresolved cross-references to paragraph 5. EO 13 does not expressly designate a replacement performance-accountability agency or grant recipient. The chart does not isolate this action’s effect.

Paragraph 5 of Executive Order Number 10 is hereby rescinded

Establishes an Office of Workforce Development within the Department of Labor and reconstitutes the Workforce Development Board with no more than 30 members. Assigns program coordination, accountability, fiscal and reporting responsibilities; requires an office-board memorandum within 60 days and annual reporting. Rescinds Governor Carney’s Order 36. Order 13 later rescinds paragraph 5’s Title I/III designation; the continuing cross-references in paragraphs 16 and 19 are not treated as a resolved reassignment. EO 13 subsequently rescinds paragraph 5. Remaining references to that paragraph in paragraphs 16 and 19 do not prove a replacement agency designation. The order does not establish completed training, benefit awards or changes in unemployment. The chart does not isolate this action’s effect.

access to education, career counseling, job training, and placement services

Establishes a working group on youth apprenticeships and pathways into state service. Directs it to convene in February and report within 30 days after its first meeting on opportunities, barriers, implementation proposals and any needed policy or legislation. The group dissolves the day after submitting its report unless reconstituted. These are planning directives, not verified placements or enacted recommendations. The report is due within 30 days of the first meeting, rather than 30 days after signing. Planning directions do not establish apprenticeships offered, participants placed or higher employment. The chart does not isolate this action’s effect.
