What does this do?
This bill would create a federal grant program for states to improve how they collect, link, and share data about workers, job training programs, and employment outcomes. States could use the money to connect education and employment records, create secure digital records workers can share with employers, improve information about in-demand jobs and skills, and train staff who work with workforce data.
Who does it affect?
State agencies that run unemployment insurance, collect labor market data, or manage job training programs can apply. States can apply alone or team up with other states, and groups that include at least one state that has never received this type of funding before get priority.
Why does it matter?
Without current and connected data, workers, employers, and training programs may have a harder time finding accurate information about available jobs and needed skills. This bill is meant to make that information more complete and up to date.
