SB 1460 Workforce skills enhancement training program; established for unemployed workers.
Introduced by: Mamie E. Locke | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Workforce skills enhancement training program for unemployed workers. Establishes a program whereby unemployed workers may continue to receive unemployment compensation benefits while participating in workforce skills enhancement training from a potential employer. Workers may participate in the program for a maximum of 24 hours per week for a maximum of six weeks. When the program is complete, workers are assessed for possible employment. Participating workers do not receive any compensation from the potential employer providing the training, but are eligible for a Commonwealth-funded training stipend averaging $100 per week for costs of child care, transportation, and other training-related costs. The Commonwealth will also reimburse the potential employer for the incremental additional cost of its workers' compensation insurance coverage. Funding for the workers' stipends and the reimbursement for workers' compensation insurance costs is subject to appropriation. The measure will become effective only if funds for its implementation are appropriated by the General Assembly.
