AI Summary

This bill aims to diversify the use of the Workforce Training Fund to support the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund. Specifically, it allows the Workforce Training Fund to provide grants for pipeline training programs that help unemployed individuals obtain jobs with employers that have job vacancies. The bill requires the Commonwealth to match, dollar-for-dollar, any monies used for these grants. Additionally, the bill mandates an annual report from the Commissioner of the Department of Unemployment Assistance on the collection of the Workforce Training Fund contributions, including the amount collected, the number of contributing employers and their employees, and the contribution rate.
