S 2341 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to authorize grants for eligible institutions to carry out agriculture workforce training programs, and for other purposes.

S 2341 authorizes federal grants to specific agricultural education institutions - including land-grant colleges, Hispanic-serving schools, community colleges, and career technical schools - to develop workforce training programs. These programs must partner with agriculture industry groups (like farms, associations, or registered apprenticeship programs) and include internships, apprenticeships, and skill-building workshops. Eligible institutions must use at least 5% of grant funds for student recruitment and faculty training to prepare students for agriculture jobs. The bill requires the Agriculture Secretary to implement this program by January 31, 2024.
