The General Assembly finds that:\n(1) the relationship between a strong educational system, practical and realistic training and retraining programs and a healthy national economy is inseparable in an era in which economic growth is dependent on technology and is imperiled by unemployment, increasing numbers of unskilled, ill-trained and undereducated individuals in the workforce or seeking employment;\n(2) restoring the competitiveness and enhancing the productivity of Illinois will require that all workers possess basic educational skills and job experience; and\n(3) our State must recognize the substantial impact that an investment in human capital will have on increasing productivity.\n(b) Purpose. It is therefore the purpose of this Act to establish a State program designed to improve our productivity and competitive position by investing in human capital, and to assist youth and adults to become productive workers in a competitive economy by authorizing a job opportunity program.","path":["CHAPTER 20 EXECUTIVE BRANCH","Illinois Guaranteed Job Opportunity Act."],"source_url":"https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ILCS/details?ActID=311\u0026ChapterID=5\u0026ChapAct=FullText\u0026Print=True","current_through":"at least Public Act 104-790","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-15T04:46:14Z","sha256":"05a9b3f83fb55e1894fc2bd999ad02093db57d1772255b06b3e2b702ca6a750b","source_id":"us-il","stale":false,"prev":"us-il/20-ilcs-1510-1","next":"us-il/20-ilcs-1510-10"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
