TRAIN Act
The TRAIN Act creates a federal grant program to help community colleges develop career training programs in partnership with local industries. It directly affects community colleges, which would receive funding to establish or improve programs aligned with in-demand industries and occupations. The bill requires 15% of grant funds to cover supportive services like childcare, transportation, and mental health services to help participants complete training. It also mandates performance tracking to ensure programs lead to quality jobs with good wages, benefits, and career advancement opportunities. The program is funded with $110 million in 2024, increasing to $176 million by 2029.
