Workforce and Education Partnership Act of 2026

This bill changes the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to add a new allowed use of workforce funds. States could use youth and adult workforce funds, and local areas could use adult workforce funds, to build partnerships between schools and employers. These schools include career and technical education schools and colleges. The partnerships would create or improve job training programs that match the skill needs of workers and the hiring needs of employers, based on the most recent state or local workforce analysis.
