Investing in Digital Skills Act
This bill amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to integrate digital literacy skills into federal adult education and job training programs. It directly affects state and local programs receiving WIOA funding by requiring them to include digital literacy and information literacy training as part of their services for adults seeking employment or economic self-sufficiency. Key provisions include adding "digital literacy skills" to program definitions, updating goals to include developing these skills, and defining information literacy as the ability to find, evaluate, and use information across all formats. The changes apply to existing WIOA programs without creating new funding streams.
