Bill > HR6413

This bill proposes to amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), a federal law that provides funding and support for job training and employment services, by removing a requirement that 75 percent of certain youth workforce investment funds must be used specifically for out-of-school youth. Currently, WIOA mandates that local workforce development areas dedicate a significant majority of their youth program funds to helping young people who are not currently enrolled in school. By striking this provision, the bill would give local workforce development areas more flexibility in how they allocate their youth workforce investment funds, potentially allowing them to provide more balanced support across both in-school and out-of-school youth populations. The change would allow local areas to determine their own priorities for youth workforce development based on their specific community needs, rather than being constrained by the previous strict funding allocation requirement.
