Lifelong Learning Act

This bill would change the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, a federal job training law. It would raise the share of certain job training funds that local areas may set aside for training current workers from 20 percent to 30 percent, and for transitional jobs from 10 percent to 15 percent. States with local areas running current-worker training programs would have to report how those programs perform, and that information would be used to adjust state performance targets for adult and dislocated worker programs. With approval from the chief elected official and the Governor, a local workforce board could also act as a one-stop job center operator if it signs a written agreement on preventing conflicts of interest.
