New Jersey Works Act incentivizes businesses to establish pre-employment training programs with educational institutions or nonprofits.

The New Jersey Works Act aims to encourage businesses to create pre-employment and work readiness training programs in collaboration with educational institutions or nonprofit organizations. The bill authorizes the Department of Labor and Workforce Development to approve these programs, which must target low- and moderate-income households and individuals needing mid-career skills training or vocational retraining. Each program must offer at least 12 weeks of paid training, covering areas such as basic math, English literacy, and job readiness skills.
