The bill outlines the monthly report on the Working Training for EA Residents as mandated by Chapter 88 of the Acts of 2024. It provides updated data as of February 6, 2025, regarding the number of individuals participating in approved and authorized training programs for residents of Emergency Assistance (EA) shelters. Key statistics include 1,371 individuals currently enrolled in approved training programs, a decrease attributed to the conclusion of the EA ESOL Pilot program and the de-duplication of participant records. The report also highlights the identification of training programs across various industries, including advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and clean energy, aimed at supporting EA residents.

Additionally, the report details the implementation status of authorized training programs, with specific guidance issued by the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development. It notes that 14 EA residents are currently participating in authorized training programs, with no individuals on waiting lists. The report emphasizes the importance of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) for entry into these programs, with 1,523 individuals having received an EAD while participating in approved training. The bill includes several insertions to clarify definitions and data points, such as the definition of individuals and the inclusion of specific training programs and municipalities where these programs are offered.
