Increased funding for workforce training, youth programs, and employer-based activities.

This Act increases the funds available to Governors for statewide workforce investment activities, raising the reserve from 15% to 25% of the allotted amount. The primary goal is to boost resources for adult, dislocated worker, and youth employment and training programs. Crucially, the funds exceeding the original 15% must be dedicated solely to employer-based training, such as on-the-job or customized training, directly benefiting citizens seeking new skills.
