(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2029)

Sec. 5. Purpose. The purpose of the Job Training Assistance and Support Services Pilot Program is to address significant barriers to individuals participating in apprenticeships, including, but not limited to, lack of affordable and reliable transportation, lack of affordable and high-quality childcare, and other barriers that may prohibit a worker from retaining employment. The Pilot Program may provide barrier reduction funding for eligible individuals participating in registered apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, or work-based learning programs such as an internship, paid work experience, transitional jobs training, on-the-job training, or incumbent worker programs administered by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
