Lets employers get help training workers, guaranteeing jobs for trainees.
This bill would create a new job training program called 'employer-directed skills development.' Businesses could work with local boards to design training for their specific needs, promising to hire trainees who finish. Employers would share training costs based on their size, giving individuals a clearer path to a job.
Today, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act includes 'customized training programs.' This bill would replace that term with 'employer-directed skills development,' which would require employers to commit to hiring trainees and share a specific portion of the training costs (10%, 25%, or 50% depending on company size). It would also let employer-referred individuals bypass initial interviews or assessments at job centers, streamlining their entry into training programs.
