Bill Summary
Community College to Career Fund Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Community College to Career Fund Act, amends the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to establish a fund and programs aimed at supporting community college and industry partnerships for workforce development. The core of the bill authorizes the Secretaries of Labor and Education to award competitive grants to eligible entities, which include community colleges, certain four-year institutions, tribal colleges, and private non-profit two-year institutions, when partnered with employers or industry partnerships. These grants are intended to develop, offer, improve, or provide educational or career training programs for workers, with a focus on meeting the needs of both workers and employers in in-demand industries. The bill also introduces specific grant programs for "Pay-for-Performance and Pay-for-Success" job training projects, "Bring Jobs Back to America" initiatives to encourage businesses to stay or relocate domestically, and grants for entrepreneur and small business startup training, all requiring collaboration with various economic development entities. A significant appropriation of $8 billion is authorized to fund these programs, with specific allocations for each grant type and administrative costs, and requires an interagency agreement between the Departments of Labor and Education to guide their joint administration and reporting.
