§3333 — Title 29 Labor | U.S. Code

Summary

Each year the Secretary must give federal grants to states for programs that teach English and civics together with job training for adults. Sixty‑five percent of the money is given to states based on need, using each state’s share of a 10‑year average from the Department of Homeland Security data on people admitted as legal permanent residents. Thirty‑five percent is given based on recent growth, using the average of the most recent 3 years of that same data. No state gets less than $60,000. Programs that get the money must help adult English learners find unsubsidized jobs in in‑demand industries and move toward economic self‑sufficiency. They must also work with the local workforce development system. The Secretary must write a report on these activities, send it to the House Education and the Workforce Committee and the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, and make the report public.
