Employer-Directed Skills Act: New Pathways to Jobs and Skills Training
This Act makes it easier for workers to gain specific skills required by employers, with a guarantee of a job upon successful completion. Employers will co-fund the training and can directly refer candidates to programs, bypassing some traditional bureaucratic hurdles.

Employers share training costs: 10% for small businesses, 25% for medium, and 50% for large companies.
Simplified referral process allows employers to send candidates directly to training without standard agency interviews.
Training programs are specifically designed to meet the actual skill demands of local businesses.
Participants can earn recognized postsecondary credentials or specific occupational skills.
