Lets foster youth use education vouchers for job training and creates new training programs.
This bill would make it easier for current and former foster youth to get job training. It would let them use existing education vouchers for short-term career programs like apprenticeships. The bill also sets up a new grant program to create more job training opportunities for these young people.
Today, current and former foster youth can use education vouchers, but their use for short-term job training like apprenticeships isn't clearly allowed. There's also no specific federal grant program to expand job training for them. If this bill becomes law, these youth would be able to use their vouchers for career-focused programs, and new federal grants of up to $50 million each year would help create more training opportunities.
