Bill > HR3587

This bill amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to recognize digital skills and digital literacy as critical components of adult education and literacy. The bill adds a formal definition of "digital literacy skills" to the Act, drawing from the Museum and Library Services Act, and expands the purpose of adult education to explicitly include helping adults develop digital skills necessary for employment, economic self-sufficiency, and full participation in society. Specifically, the bill modifies existing language to emphasize the importance of developing and using digital technology skills, integrating digital skills activities with other adult education programs, and enabling parents and family members to develop digital literacy skills that can support their children's learning. The legislation broadens the scope of adult education to ensure individuals can effectively use digital technology in workplace, family, and societal contexts, recognizing that digital literacy is now a crucial skill for personal and professional success in the modern world.
