A Stronger Workforce for America Act of 2026
This bill reauthorizes the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to strengthen workforce development programs for youth, adults, and dislocated workers across the United States. It establishes new performance accountability measures requiring states and local areas to meet specific employment and earnings targets, with funding reductions for entities that fail to perform. The legislation creates new funds for critical industry skills training and industry partnerships, expands eligibility for Job Corps to include more age groups and homeless youth, and mandates the use of evidence-based practices and digital tools in workforce services.
