Today, the House will vote on H.R. 803, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, a bill to reform our Nation's mishmash of workforce development programs. Today is the culmination of an 18-month bipartisan and bicameral process. The House passed H.R. 803, the SKILLS Act, over a year ago. The Senate passed an amended version of H.R. 803 two weeks ago and renamed it the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. This bill turns the bipartisan consensus that our workforce development system is broken into action and will provide a long overdue reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act. In short, this legislation will increase access, eliminate waste, promote accountability, and empower job creators. Most importantly, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act will give Americans access to the resources needed to fill in-demand jobs. ____________________
