Bill > S3189

This bill, the Pathways to Health Careers Act, would amend Title XX of the Social Security Act to provide a pathway to health careers through health profession opportunity grants. The bill would establish a new "Career Pathways Through Health Profession Opportunity Grants" program, which would provide competitive grants to eligible entities like workforce development boards, state/local governments, tribes, and nonprofit organizations to train low-income individuals for allied health professions, health IT, nursing, and other healthcare careers. The grants would fund services like adult basic education, case management, childcare, and transportation support to help participants complete training and secure employment. The bill also includes provisions for grants specifically focused on maternal mortality career pathways and second chance career pathways for individuals with criminal records.
