Establishes program in DOLWD to address jobs lost due to automation.

S 1363 proposes creating a new "New Jersey Automation Job Loss Prevention Program" within the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD). It would redirect 2% of the existing Workforce Development Partnership Fund to provide training and education for workers displaced by automation, focusing on industry-valued credentials. The program targets qualified displaced workers affected by automation, using funds already allocated through the state's workforce development system. The bill, introduced in January 2024 and referred to the Senate Labor Committee, is pending legislative action.
