Establishes program in DOLWD to connect persons with disabilities with job training and employment.
S 1019 requires New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to create a program connecting people with disabilities to job training and employment opportunities. The bill mandates DOLWD to develop an online resource hub listing qualified training organizations, allowing employers to post job openings and providing information on state labor laws and fair employment practices. Qualified organizations must be nonprofits with at least five years of experience serving people with disabilities, and DOLWD must collaborate with them to develop training materials. The program will require annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on its implementation and effectiveness, starting 30 days after the bill takes effect.
