H.R. 2380 amends federal workforce development law to expand training opportunities for young people aged 16-21 who are still in school, as well as out-of-school youth of any age. The bill allows local workforce areas to use a funding mechanism called individual training accounts to pay for job training services from approved providers, similar to how these accounts currently work for adults and workers who have lost jobs. This change gives youth more direct access to federal workforce funds for skills training in fields aligned with local job market needs. The legislation, introduced by Representatives Moran and Smucker in March 2025, does not specify new funding amounts or timelines for implementation beyond amending the existing Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
