SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Department of Labor's Draft FY 2006-2011 Strategic Plan is provided as part of the strategic planning process under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) to ensure that agency stakeholders are provided an opportunity to comment on this plan.

This document integrates the Department's many diverse missions and different program objectives into a presentation of performance goals under four overreacting strategic goals. These four strategic goals are A Prepared Workforce; A Competitive Workforce; Safe and Secure Workplaces; and Strengthened Economic Protections. The strategic planning process is an opportunity for the Department to further refine and strengthen the strategic goal structure currently in place. For comparison purposes, the current DOL Strategic Plan FY 2003-2008 can be viewed at http://www.dol.gov/​_sec/​stratplan.

The Department has made significant progress in its strategic and performance planing efforts. As we build on this progress we look forward to receiving your comments by August 25. The text of the draft strategic plan is available in a “pdf” downloadable format and “html” through the Department of Labor Web site: http://www.dol.gov/​_sec/​stratplan-draft.
