21st Century SKILLS Act

The 21st Century Skills Act establishes skills training grants to help adults and dislocated workers access career training programs. It provides funding based on income levels ($10,000 for low-income individuals, $8,000 for middle-income, and $6,000 for higher-income individuals) to cover training costs, supportive services like childcare and transportation, and related expenses. The bill creates a CareerOneStop website portal where eligible individuals can request grants and access information about training programs, including performance data and costs. This legislation modifies the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to implement these changes, aiming to improve access to training that meets 21st century workforce demands.
