Relating to: workforce training grants. (FE)

SB 803 expands state funding for workforce training grants to specifically support programs preparing individuals to become teachers. It directly affects teacher training programs - especially dual enrollment initiatives - and aspiring educators seeking classroom careers. The bill requires these programs to include research-backed training, leadership development, hands-on job experience, and additional support services. This change modifies existing grant guidelines by adding a new subsection (106.27(1)(b)1.b) to mandate these specific components. The bill is currently pending in committee review after its January 2026 introduction.
