SB 628 Economic & Employment Improvement Program for Disadvantaged.
Introduced by: Yvonne B. Miller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Economic and Employment Improvement Program for Disadvantaged Persons. Transfers the administrative responsibility for the Economic and Employment Improvement Program for Disadvantaged Persons from the Governor's Employment and Training Department to the Department of Social Services. The bill broadens the statutory provisions of the program to extend educational and job training services to persons who are (i) eligible to participate in vocational education and job skills training programs under state and federal welfare reform laws; (ii) ineligible to continue to receive assistance under state and federal welfare reform laws; and (iii) returning to the community from state and federal correctional facilities. Educational and job skills programs are required to be designed to assist eligible participants in moving from minimum wage jobs to college and to employment and occupations that will facilitate career development and economic independence. The bill also expands the awards committee to include persons with expertise in the delivery of adult literacy programs, job skills training and apprenticeships, and state and federal welfare reform laws. Currently, state and federal welfare reform laws do not include a required education component, which is essential to prepare persons who do not have an adequate educational foundation to succeed in vocational education and job skills training programs.
