The Investing in Digital Skills Act amends federal workforce training laws to make digital literacy and digital skills a core focus of adult education programs. The bill recognizes that digital competency is essential for employment, economic stability, and full participation in modern life, and it updates the definitions and purposes of adult education to explicitly include digital skills training alongside traditional literacy education. The legislation affects adult learners seeking job training and retraining through federally funded workforce programs, as well as the organizations that provide these services. While the text provided does not specify new appropriations or funding levels, the bill integrates digital skills into existing workforce innovation and opportunity programs. The measure was introduced in December 2023 and referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
