Digital Skills for Today’s Workforce Act

This bill would add a digital skills grant program to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, run by the Secretary of Labor. Each state that applies would get a grant based on its total population, its working-age population, and its number of residents with indicators of low digital literacy. States would pass the money to local organizations as subgrants, with priority for programs serving people with barriers to employment. The Secretary would also award competitive grants directly to organizations to teach workplace digital skills. The bill authorizes funding for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 and adds digital and information literacy training to the list of allowed job training services.
