  • Apprenticeship expansion โ€” funds Registered Apprenticeships and Apprenticeship Hubs
  • Workforce board governance โ€” modifies state/local workforce-board structure
  • Dislocated workers โ€” extends services for trade-affected and displaced workers
  • Youth services โ€” programs for 16-24 year-olds entering the workforce
  • Adult education โ€” basic-skills and English-language programs

Who votes when?

  • House Education and Workforce + Senate HELP active consideration; historically bipartisan
