Establishes program in DOLWD to connect persons with disabilities with job training and employment.
This bill creates a new program within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to connect people with disabilities to job training and employment opportunities. The program requires DOLWD, working with the Department of Human Services, to partner with qualified nonprofit organizations (with at least five years of disability-related experience) to provide job training, outreach, and employment services. It mandates an online resource hub listing training providers, allowing employers to post jobs, and including state labor law information. The program must be evaluated annually through a report to the Governor and Legislature. The bill directly affects job seekers with disabilities, qualifying training organizations, and employers in New Jersey.
