SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

The Advantage Virginia Incentive Program; qualified jobs; selection of beneficiaries. Revises the focus of the Advantage Virginia Incentive Program, i.e., a program focused on and designed to provide scholarships for job training. This bill changes "occupational areas where there is a high demand for workers" to "qualified jobs," which is defined as jobs that are in high demand in the Commonwealth and designated as such by the Virginia Workforce Council. The bill deletes the requirement that the qualified jobs must be located in high unemployment areas and replaces the requirement with a provision that students who attended high schools located in high unemployment areas will be given preferences in selecting beneficiaries for the Advantage Virginia Incentive Program.
