Parental Workforce Training Act
The Parental Workforce Training Act (HR 6907) creates a federal grant program to help parents cover childcare costs while participating in employment and training activities. Local boards receive competitive grants to provide direct childcare assistance to eligible individuals - parents with dependent children enrolled in workforce programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The program authorizes $10 million in funding to support these services, requiring grantees to use funds solely for childcare costs tied to employment training participation. The Secretary of Labor must also report annually on participant enrollment and program effectiveness.
