The federal workforce training system would get a bigger focus on entrepreneurship under this bill. It amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to make sure local job centers provide information on starting a business, refer people to microenterprise services, and recognize entrepreneurship programs as eligible training providers. It also directs the Department of Labor to conduct a three-year, multi-state study on what makes entrepreneurial skills programs successful — tracking outcomes like earnings, job creation, and economic impact on local communities.
Congressional Summary
This bill requires states to incorporate into their career services programs (1) information about entrepreneurship, and (2) referrals to microenterprise services. It also requires the Department of Labor to conduct a multistate study of entrepreneurial skills development programs, including a review of successful practices for developing such skills.
