Overview
This bill amends California law to give the Workforce Development Board a scoring preference when awarding grants for high road training partnerships. Specifically, applicants that are bona fide labor-management cooperation committees or are applying on behalf of one will receive a preference. The bill also requires applicants to have a collective bargaining agreement or labor-management partnership and prioritize incumbent workers and sectors with demonstrated job demand. It aims to support training programs that align with industry needs and worker voice.
Key provisions
- Applicants must have a collective bargaining agreement or labor-management partnership to be eligible for funding.
- The California Workforce Development Board will provide a scoring preference to bona fide labor-management cooperation committees.
- Applicants can apply on behalf of a labor-management committee with written authorization.
- The board will determine the amount of the scoring preference and incorporate it into grant solicitations.
- Priority will be given to incumbent workers in low- and middle-wage sectors.
- Funding will prioritize sectors with established job quality standards and industry demand.
- A focus on low- and middle-wage sectors addressing pressing needs, such as the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, is encouraged.
