Colleges would get grants to train workers in immersive technology for new jobs.
This bill would set aside money for community colleges and career centers to offer training in immersive technologies like virtual reality. This means more people, including veterans and those facing employment challenges, could learn skills for in-demand tech jobs. The goal is to boost the workforce in new technology fields.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program for immersive technology training at community colleges and career centers. If this bill passes, the Department of Labor would create a grant program. It would set aside $50 million each year from 2026 to 2035 to help schools offer these new tech training programs.
