Lifelong Learning Act
This bill amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to increase funding for training current workers and expand workforce program flexibility. It raises the required percentage of funds reserved for incumbent worker training from 20% to 30% and for transitional jobs from 10% to 15%. The bill also requires states to report on training program outcomes and allows local workforce boards to operate "one-stop" career centers under specific conflict-of-interest safeguards. These changes directly affect states administering WIOA programs, local workforce boards, and current workers participating in funded training initiatives.
