Bill overview
The Youth Workforce Readiness Act of 2021 aims to improve job opportunities for young people by providing grants to organizations that offer out-of-school-time workforce readiness programs. It establishes a competitive grant program for these programs, which can include on-the-job training, leadership development, and career exploration. The bill also requires local workforce development boards to create youth councils to advise on these initiatives and ensure they meet the needs of young people. Furthermore, it mandates the inclusion of younger youth in workforce investment activities in an age-appropriate manner.
