HR 7343: Foster Youth Workforce Opportunity Act

 


OHIO YAB Youth Ambassadors reached out to Congressman Miller’s Office regarding Chafee in January, and ACTION Ohio provided a quote for the introduction of the federal Foster Youth Workforce Opportunity Act: 

“ETV can currently be used for some vocational schools if the school is listed on the FAFSA. But that leaves many trade schools and short-term certificates ineligible. Extending ETV to connect former foster youth with apprenticeships and vocational training programs will set them up for success by linking them with needed educational support.” 

Here’s a link to the full text of this bill.
