Bill overview
This bill, the Building Youth Workforce Skills Act, aims to strengthen workforce development programs for young people. It modifies the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to allow for the use of individual training accounts – funds specifically designated for job training – to cover training costs for both in-school and out-of-school youth aged 16-21. This expansion would enable more young people to access training programs offered by approved providers, increasing their opportunities for employment. The bill seeks to better prepare young adults for the workforce.
