Workforce Development Modernization Act
This bill amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to modernize "one-stop centers," which provide job training and employment services. It allows states to use virtual centers (like terminals providing service access) or shared centers across adjacent areas, instead of requiring one physical center per local area. It also mandates that states with physical centers must colocate employment service offices within those centers. These changes directly affect workforce development centers and job seekers accessing services through them.
