Digital Skills for Today’s Workforce Act

This bill would amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to create a Digital Skills at Work grant program run by the Secretary of Labor. Each state that submits a complete application would receive a grant based on its total population, working-age population, and number of residents with indicators of low digital skills, and states would pass the money to local organizations as subgrants, giving priority to people with barriers to employment. If a state does not apply, the Secretary could give the state's share to other eligible organizations. The bill would also create a separate competitive grant program for organizations to provide digital workplace skills training, with privacy protections and reporting requirements. It would add digital and information literacy training to the list of allowed job training services and authorize funding for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
