SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Grants for earning workforce training credentials; New Economy Industry Credential Assistance Training Grants. Establishes a grant program that would pay grants to certain individuals enrolled at a two-year or four-year public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth in a noncredit workforce training program as a prerequisite to earning a related credential in a high-demand field. The grant, up to a total of $1,000, would be limited to payment of tuition charged for the training program, the cost of any required textbooks, and the cost of any examination required to earn the credential. The Virginia Board of Workforce Development would maintain a list of high-demand fields and the related credentials on its website, and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia would administer the grants. The amount of grants available each year for the program would be determined by the general appropriation act. The bill has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2016.
