Bill overview
The Reengage the Workforce Act aims to help secondary school dropouts re-enroll in education or obtain a high school equivalency credential. It does this by providing grants to partnerships between local schools, government agencies, nonprofits, and community organizations. These grants can fund services like career counseling, credit recovery programs, job training, and supportive services such as transportation and childcare, with a focus on low-income communities and evidence-based practices. The program will be regularly evaluated and reported on to Congress.
