LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 421, as introduced, Williams. California Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program: Job Development Incentive Training Program.

Existing law, until January 1, 2018, establishes the Job Development Incentive Training Program as a component of the California Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program. Existing law states the intent of the Legislature that the Job Development Incentive Training Program provide training on a no-cost or low-cost basis to participating employers who create employment opportunities at an acceptable wage level for the attainment of self-sufficiency by specified aid recipients and low wage earners. Existing law requires a community college that participates in the Job Development Incentive Training Program to inventory its local or regional business community, including nonprofit organizations, and identify industry-driven needs and employment opportunities with a goal of attaining self-sufficiency through workforce reentry, continuous employee training, and skills upgrades.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the latter provision.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
