The House of Representatives has passed the bipartisan A Stronger Workforce for America Act, aimed at reforming the workforce development system in the United States. Spearheaded by Committee leaders Virginia Foxx and Bobby Scott, the bill, known as H.R. 6655, seeks to address the skills gap in the American economy by expanding skills development programs and improving access to good-paying jobs. This legislative effort has garnered support from various representatives, who highlighted its potential to enhance economic resilience, provide necessary reform to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and ensure more Americans are equipped for success in the 21st-century workforce. Provisions from other bills, such as the YouthBuild for the Future Act, which provides meals for participants in job training programs, and three measures introduced by Rep. Lucy McBath, including the TRAIN Act, Adult Education WORKS, and the CREATES Act, have been incorporated into the legislation.
