AI Summary

This bill aims to diversify the use of the Workforce Training Fund to support the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund. Specifically, it would allow the Workforce Training Fund to provide grants for pipeline training for unemployed persons by employers with job vacancies, up to 5% of the fund's annual capitalization. The Commonwealth would match, dollar-for-dollar, any monies used for these grants. Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to file an annual report on the collection of workforce training contributions, including the amount collected, the number of contributing employers and employees, and the contribution rate.
