Creates new federal grants to help workers get digital skills for today's jobs.

This bill would create a new federal grant program to help people across the country learn digital skills needed for modern jobs. It would set aside money for states and other groups to offer training, especially for those looking for work or facing employment challenges. This aims to ensure more Americans have the digital know-how to succeed in the economy.

What Would Change

Today, the main workforce law (WIOA) doesn't have a specific grant program for digital skills training. This bill would create a new "Digital Skills at Work Grant Program" and officially add digital literacy training as an approved service under that law. This means more federal money would be directed to help people get the digital skills they need for jobs, with a focus on those facing employment challenges.

Key Provisions

Lets states receive money based on their total population, working-age residents, and people with low digital skills.
Requires states to give priority for training funds to individuals facing barriers to employment.
Adds "digital and information literacy skills" as a recognized training service under a major workforce law.
Authorizes money to be set aside for this program for the government's budget year 2026 and the next four years.
