What it does
The Parental Workforce Training Act would establish a grant program administered by the Secretary of Labor to help eligible individuals—those with dependent children participating in employment and training activities—cover childcare costs as supportive services. Grants would be awarded competitively to local boards, which would then distribute funds to individuals so they can choose compliant childcare providers. The bill authorizes $10 million in appropriations and requires the Secretary of Labor to report to Congress within one year of the first grant award on the program’s impact on enrollment and completion in employment and training activities.
