Bill overview
The Youth Workforce Readiness Act of 2023 aims to improve job opportunities for young people by providing grants to organizations that offer out-of-school-time programs focused on workforce readiness. It establishes a competitive grant program for these programs, which can include on-the-job training, leadership development, and internships. The bill also requires local workforce development boards to create youth councils to advise on program development and ensure youth voices are heard. Finally, it mandates the inclusion of younger youth in workforce investment activities in an age-appropriate manner.
