Creates online 'talent marketplaces' to help Americans find jobs and training programs.
This bill would create new online platforms, called 'talent marketplaces,' to help connect jobseekers and students with jobs and training programs. States could get federal grants to build these platforms, which would use standardized digital records of skills and education. The goal is to make it easier for people to find the right opportunities and for employers to find skilled workers.
Today, workforce development programs exist, but there is no clear system for 'talent marketplaces' to connect people directly with jobs and training using standardized digital records. State websites for training providers are not always easy to use or compare programs. After this bill, states could get federal grants to build these digital marketplaces. These grants would come from 5% to 10% of certain Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funds. These platforms would use standardized digital records of skills and education, making it easier for jobseekers, students, employers, and training providers to connect. State websites would also become much more user-friendly and comparable.
