Bill Summary
Under current law, the Department of Workforce Development awards grants for various workforce training purposes under what is commonly known as the Fast Forward Program.

This bill adds, as an authorized Fast Forward grant purpose, programs that provide evidence-based educational training, leadership development, on-site job experience, and other support to provide individuals with skills and experience needed to pursue careers as teachers. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
