(b) The board of trustees shall establish an advisory committee to identify workforce needs, education and training requirements, support services and partnerships in fields with available or growing employment opportunities and in priority regions enduring high levels of unemployment. The advisory committee shall include representatives from the Labor Department, the Workforce Investment Boards, the Department of Economic and Community Development, the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, the Connecticut Business and Industry Association and labor organizations. The advisory committee shall examine the use of individual educational training accounts to assist these individuals, recommend eligibility requirements for participants, including, but not limited to, verification of unemployment and demonstration of financial need, and consider establishing pilot programs, the number and participants of which shall be determined by available funding resources. The advisory committee shall submit its recommendations to the board of trustees on or before November 1, 2010.
