Bill overview
The American Workforce Act proposes establishing a new program offering an alternative to traditional college education, focusing on workforce development through paid, full-time jobs. This program, called the ‘American Workforce Program,’ would pair prospective trainees with employers under ‘American Workforce Contracts,’ providing structured on-the-job training and educational workforce training. The program would be administered by a new American Workforce Division within the Department of Commerce, and it aims to equip individuals with competency-based credentials aligned with industry needs, while also ensuring employer accountability and transparency.
