Lets local communities offer more job training and support programs for workers.
This bill would let local communities offer more job training and support programs for workers. It would set aside more money for training current workers and for temporary jobs. It would also allow local groups that oversee job programs to run local job centers, which could make services more flexible.
Today, 20% of funds are set aside for training current workers and 10% for temporary jobs. Local groups that oversee job programs generally cannot run local job centers. This bill would change those amounts to 30% for current worker training and 15% for temporary jobs. It would also allow local groups to run job centers if they meet strict approval and conflict-of-interest rules. States would also have to report specific results from worker training programs to help adjust future performance goals.
