Adult education programs would teach more digital skills for jobs and daily life.
This bill, called the "Investing in Digital Skills Act," would make sure adult education programs help people learn crucial digital skills. It would update federal job training laws to include digital literacy as a key goal, helping adults get better jobs and participate more fully in society. This means programs would specifically focus on teaching people how to use digital technology for work, family, and daily tasks.
Today, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act does not explicitly recognize digital skills and digital literacy as core adult education goals. After this bill, the Act would clearly state that digital skills are critical objectives for adult education and literacy programs. It would also define "digital literacy skills" and expand the scope of adult education and family literacy activities to include digital technology proficiency.
