What it does
The bill would amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to create a grant program for community colleges to develop high-quality workforce development programs, funded at $65 million annually from 2026 to 2031. It would affect community colleges and their partnerships with employers in high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand industries, requiring them to establish industry partnerships, provide career services, and deliver programs leading to portable, stackable credentials. Grants would be awarded competitively for up to four years, with priority given to institutions serving individuals with employment barriers or incumbent workers, and administrative costs limited to 7% of funds.
