Bill overview
The New Jersey Works Act aims to encourage businesses to invest in workforce development by offering tax credits. These credits are available to companies that partner with schools, nonprofits, or educational institutions to create pre-employment and work readiness training programs for individuals. The programs must provide at least 12 weeks of paid training, covering essential skills and job readiness, and are designed to benefit low- and moderate-income individuals. A study will be conducted after two years to assess the program's effectiveness.
