Show full summary
  • Helps workers and jobseekers ages 16 to 64 gain foundational through advanced digital workplace skills for current employment or advancement, with priority for people with low digital literacy, limited English, or low earnings.
  • Directs State grants using a three-part formula: 50% by each State’s share of the national population, 25% by share of working-age residents, and 25% by share of people with indicators of low digital and information literacy. If a State does not apply, eligible statewide entities or local subgrantees can receive funds.
  • Funds competitive grants to industry and sector partnerships to support apprenticeships, classroom instruction, curricula, business engagement, instructor development, and public reporting. Grants must protect participant privacy and align with State Digital Equity Plans.

*It would authorize appropriations as necessary for fiscal year 2026 and each of the four following years and allow the Secretary to reserve up to 5% for technical assistance and 2 to 4% for program evaluation.*
