Creates grants to help low-income people get health care jobs with full support.
This bill would set aside $435 million each year for five years to fund programs that train low-income individuals for well-paying health care jobs. These programs would offer essential support like child care, transportation, and career coaching. It also includes special projects for people with past conviction records and those interested in maternal care professions.
Today, low-income individuals may struggle to access health care career training due to costs, lack of child care, or transportation issues, and there are limited specific programs for those with conviction records or for maternal care roles. After this bill, a new federal grant program would provide comprehensive, funded pathways to health care jobs, including guaranteed support services like child care and transportation, and dedicated projects for specific underserved groups.
