Improve Employer-Directed Skills Act
This bill amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to streamline employer-led training programs. It removes the requirement for one-stop operators to interview workers referred by employers for on-the-job training, provided the employer certifies the worker needs training and has the skills to succeed. Employers can now formally contract with local workforce boards to provide training, requiring agreements that specify program details, costs, credentials, and a commitment to hire participants after completion. The bill also updates terminology throughout the law to consistently use "employer-directed skills development" instead of "customized training."
