ACCESS Act

This bill changes the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, a federal job training law. It would allow states to use youth workforce funds for public awareness campaigns, including social media and public service announcements, about career and technical education programs and community-based programs that prepare young people for high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand jobs, including skilled trades. It would also change local youth program requirements so that labor market and employment information covers these jobs, including skilled trades, through career awareness, career counseling, and career exploration services.
