The grants would fund job training programs that use immersive technology, such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, including training for veterans, service members, and instructors. Grants would last up to 5 years, and priority would go to applicants working with employers, including community colleges or technical schools, or serving needs such as rural communities or workers from shrinking industries. Grantees would report on results, and the bill authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2035.
