Workforce Innovation: Better Support for Job Seekers and Employers

This act allows states to test new ways of supporting job seekers and employers. This means training programs and employment assistance can be better tailored to local needs. The goal is faster job placement and better outcomes for everyone.
Key points
States can combine funds for youth, adult, and dislocated worker programs into a single 5-year grant.
This allows for flexible creation of innovative projects aimed at helping people find better jobs.
Priority for services is given to veterans, low-income individuals, and public assistance recipients.
Projects must demonstrate improved employment and earnings outcomes for participants compared to existing programs.
