AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill renews and changes the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, which funds job training and employment services through state and local workforce boards. It would require employers in employer-directed training programs to pay part of the cost and commit to hiring workers who finish. It would require states to review and possibly redraw local workforce areas, with local elected officials voting on proposed changes, and would let some smaller states become a single local area with legislative consent. It would also add new local board committees, change how program performance is measured, and move adult education programs to the Department of Labor.
