Investing in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act of 2026

This bill would have the Secretary of Labor award competitive grants, starting in fiscal year 2027, to partnerships of employers, workforce boards, schools, and economic development groups to run pilot projects training workers who have lost or may lose jobs because of automation. Grants would last up to 4 years and could pay for training, stipends, equipment, job search help, and staff positions. Priority would go first to areas with many people facing barriers to employment. Partnerships would report on training and job results by age, gender, and race. The bill would also add automation-related training to existing federal workforce programs and authorize $40,000,000 per year from 2027 through 2031 for National Dislocated Worker Grants.
