Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Summary
The Critical Industry Skills Act amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act so governors can reserve up to 10% of their WIOA allocations to create a critical‑industry skills fund and an industry‑sector partnership and career‑pathways fund. States must match those reservations with other federal, state, or governor‑reserved money, and the funds can be used for employment and training activities tied to high‑need industries. Local incentive payments are linked to performance standards for youth, adult and dislocated‑worker programs.
