## Summary

**Expand YouthBuild funding and employer-driven partnerships.** This bill would reauthorize and broaden YouthBuild under WIOA by adding supports for participants and creating a separate employer-partnership grant stream to link training to jobs. - Youth participants and families: Would add meals and other food assistance, help participants access Federal and State means-tested benefits like SNAP and childcare supports, and provide supportive services for people with disabilities to reduce participation barriers. - Rural and tribal communities: Would require the Secretary to reserve 20 percent of any annual YouthBuild funding that exceeds $125 million for grants serving rural areas and tribal or Native communities. - Employers and apprenticeships: Would create a new YouthBuild Employer Partnerships grant for consortia of YouthBuild programs and employers, give priority to joint labor-management apprenticeship partnerships, and authorize $20 million per year for FY2027 through FY2032 for that track. - Program operations and accountability: Would require annual consultation on performance expectations, push for predictable funding opportunity announcements, and direct states to facilitate access to wage data while protecting participant privacy. *Authorizes $159.5 million for FY2027 rising to $203.6 million for FY2032 for the core YouthBuild program, and adds $20 million annually for the employer-partnership stream through FY2032.*
