Lifelong Learning Act

This bill changes the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. It would raise the share of certain local workforce funds that areas may reserve for training current employees (incumbent worker training) from 20 percent to 30 percent, and the share for transitional jobs from 10 percent to 15 percent. States with local incumbent worker training programs would have to report performance results for those programs, and the state and federal officials would use that information to adjust performance targets for adult and dislocated worker programs. The bill would also let a local workforce board serve as a one-stop center operator if approved by the chief elected official and Governor and if it signs a written agreement on preventing conflicts of interest.
