Investing in Tomorrow’s Workforce: Training for Workers Impacted by Automation
This Act aims to prepare workers for labor market shifts caused by automation and technology. It establishes competitive grant programs for job training, helping individuals likely to be displaced acquire new, in-demand skills, particularly in the technology sector. Workers may benefit from access to federally supported training, stipends, and job search assistance.
Key points
New Training Grants: Establishes a competitive grant program for eligible partnerships (businesses, educational institutions, and workforce boards) to fund pilot projects addressing the training needs of workers impacted by automation.
Worker Support Services: Grant funds may be used for training stipends and job search assistance. Priority is given to partnerships that provide benefits such as paid sick leave, paid family leave, or access to child care.
Expanded Federal Funding: Amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to explicitly include training for workers dislocated by automation and authorizes $40 million annually for fiscal years 2022 through 2026 for National Dislocated Worker Grants.
