This Act establishes a new competitive grant program to help workers whose jobs are threatened by automation (robots, AI) acquire new, in-demand digital skills. The program funds training services and prioritizes partnerships that offer essential support, such as childcare access, paid leave, or transportation stipends, to facilitate worker participation. The goal is to prepare the workforce for technological shifts, ensuring better job security and higher wages.
