Civilian Conservation Center Enhancement Act of 2023

This bill creates specialized training programs at Civilian Conservation Centers (CCCs) operated by the Interior or Agriculture Departments, focusing on wildfire firefighting, forestry, and conservation skills. It directly affects underserved youth enrolled in CCC programs (covered students) and graduates who complete them (covered graduates), requiring agencies to set annual hiring goals for graduates in firefighting and related fields. Key mechanisms include direct hiring authority for covered graduates without standard civil service rules, signing bonuses for rural housing, and using covered students to renovate federal housing for firefighters. The bill also mandates a report assessing CCC capacity and needed improvements within one year.
