Empowering Individuals to Succeed Through Education and Workforce Training Act

This bill would amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to create a Support Services Training Fund. The Secretary of Labor would award competitive grants to local workforce boards, groups of local boards, or state boards working with groups of local boards. Grantees would provide support services to people taking part in certain job training and adult education programs, including services such as groceries and after-hours childcare. Applicants would have to describe how they plan to partner with other organizations, including state TANF and SNAP agencies. Each grant could not exceed $2,000,000 per year.
