AI Summary

This bill requires state providers of workforce-related programs, which are initiatives designed to help individuals gain skills and find employment, to enhance their reporting on program outcomes. Specifically, annual reports must now include the number of participants who enroll in another workforce program after completing the current one, and the average increase in wages participants experience after finishing a program. Furthermore, by November 1, 2026, these state providers must develop a plan to collect data from participants about their post-program success, including information on employment, wages, and further training, and then submit this plan to the legislative council. The bill also clarifies that participants will have the option to provide this information anonymously, and this specific reporting requirement will expire on January 1, 2027.
