Community colleges in the lurch after WIOA bill founders
Briefly

The Stronger Workforce for America Act was intended to give community colleges better access to training contracts, but bipartisan efforts have stalled, leaving funding uncertain.
Lawmakers had believed the bipartisan update of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act would retain critical funds and support for workforce development—but last-minute changes derailed this effort.
Education and workforce committee leaders emphasized that reauthorizing WIOA is essential for American workers to adapt to market changes, offering transformative opportunities.
The failure to pass the Stronger Workforce for America Act signifies not just a legislative setback, but a significant loss for community colleges and job training programs.
