Generation Now Workforce Representation Act of 2024

The Generation Now Workforce Representation Act of 2024 requires state workforce boards to include specific youth and nonprofit representatives in their structure. It mandates at least one youth representative who is either an out-of-school youth, a disconnected youth aged 16-24, or a participant in a youth workforce program. It also requires at least one representative from a 501(c)(3) youth-serving nonprofit organization providing supportive services to youth. Additionally, the bill establishes a standing youth workforce committee to advise state boards on youth-focused workforce programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. These changes directly affect state workforce boards and their planning for youth workforce development initiatives.
