45-second read · 5 questions answered below
This bill updates how federal job training programs are judged, reported on, and funded. New measures track whether workers stay employed longer after finishing a program and how many complete hands-on training like apprenticeships. It also requires that at least half of certain local training funds go directly to actual training services, not other program costs.
This affects state and local workforce agencies, job training providers, and workers or jobseekers who use federally funded employment and training programs.
States and local areas that fall short of performance targets face funding reductions. States that show the most improvement receive extra funding.
