Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create an action plan within 30 days to help veterans find jobs in advanced manufacturing. The plan must identify barriers veterans face when seeking manufacturing employment, challenges that manufacturers encounter when hiring veterans, and which regions have the greatest need for manufacturing workers. The Secretary must also examine veterans' skills that match manufacturing needs, suggest ways to improve existing training programs, and recommend both short-term and long-term actions to increase veteran participation in the manufacturing workforce. To develop the plan, the VA Secretary must consult with manufacturing employers, colleges and universities, and organizations representing manufacturing workers. The bill provides a framework for addressing the employment gap between veterans and the advanced manufacturing industry but does not specify funding amounts or appropriations for implementing the recommended actions.
