For review: Arizona Executive Order 2024-04: Creating the Governor’s Talent Ready AZ Workforce Cabinet

WHEREAS, Arizona’s strong and growing economy is creating thousands of new jobs in the State, and more Arizonans are currently employed than at any point in our State’s history; and

WHEREAS, Arizona is a leading state for critical industries and private investment; our State’s continued growth and rise as the epicenter of America’s manufacturing resurgence and innovation economy means more Arizonans will need newer and updated skills to meet industry demand and make the most of these economic opportunities—from making leading-edge chips to implementing new, clean technologies, to connecting all Arizonans to high-speed internet; and

WHEREAS, workforce opportunities should be available for all Arizonans, including those that have been traditionally underserved or deserve a second chance, such as Tribal communities, women, families with children, Arizonans living with disabilities, and individuals who are justice-impacted and reentering the workforce; and…

WHEREAS, inequities continue across specific populations in Arizona, as labor force participation among Arizona Veterans is 49 percent, compared to the statewide participation rate of 62 percent; the current unemployment rate for Tribal members living in Arizona is 8 percent—more than double the statewide rate for all workers; the national unemployment rate among justice-impacted individuals is estimated to be approximately 27 percent; of the nearly half a million Arizona adults ages 16 to 64 living with a disability, half are not in the workforce; and women in Arizona earn 87 cents on the dollar compared to men and continue to be underrepresented in key sectors and the workforce overall; and…

…NOW, THEREFORE, I, Katie Hobbs, Governor of the State of Arizona, by virtue of the power vested in me by the Arizona Constitution and the laws of this State, hereby order and direct as follows:

  1. The Talent Ready AZ Initiative is created to meet Arizona’s workforce needs, support Arizona’s growing and critical industries, provide Arizonans with good-paying jobs, and connect Arizonans to the careers of the future and long-term success.
