Digital Skills for Today’s Workforce Act

The Digital Skills for Today's Workforce Act establishes a new grant program to expand digital workplace skills training for workers, particularly those with barriers to employment such as low educational attainment, low earnings, or limited English proficiency. The program provides funding to states to award subgrants to eligible entities like community colleges and workforce organizations for training through classroom instruction, apprenticeships, and work-based learning. States must prioritize serving individuals with employment barriers and report on outcomes related to digital skills development. The bill aims to create "digitally resilient" systems and individuals who can adapt to changing technology demands in the workforce. This program is funded through appropriations for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
