Bill > A05067

This bill, known as the Workforce Development Accountability Act, requires any entity receiving state funding for workforce development to submit a comprehensive annual report to the Department of Labor by January 31st each year, starting in 2026. The report must detail multiple aspects of their workforce development programs, including the number of individuals contacted and trained, organizations involved in the programs, types of training and certifications offered, and job creation outcomes. Specifically, the report must track hired individuals' employment status at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after hiring, including whether they are still working for the original employer, in the same field, and their wage progression. The report must also include the number of individuals who completed training, their starting wages, job types, and the employer's suggestions for improving the workforce development program. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability for state-funded workforce development initiatives by requiring detailed tracking and reporting of program outcomes and participant employment trajectories.
