Increases reporting requirements for the NJ Basic Skills Training Program for Economic Growth.
S 121 restructures funding for New Jersey's Basic Skills Training Program by adjusting how money from the "Supplemental Workforce Fund" is allocated. It directs 24% to One Stop Career Centers for training displaced/disadvantaged workers, 28% to Workforce Investment Boards for vocational rehabilitation, and 25% (split 12.5% each for standard training and apprenticeship pilot programs) to employer consortia. The bill also mandates a minimum $3 million allocation to community colleges for basic skills training, requires employers to pay regular wages during training, and adds reporting requirements for training providers and employers. This affects workers seeking job skills, community colleges, employer groups, and workforce development agencies.
