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 on the number of individuals participating in approved training programs, specifically targeting EA (Emergency Assistance) residents, defined as adults aged 18 and older who are either currently residing in EA shelters or have recently exited them. The report indicates a slight decline in participation numbers, with 1,987 individuals currently enrolled in approved training programs, and 609 EA residents participating. The report also highlights the various industries involved in the training programs, including advanced manufacturing, healthcare, clean energy, and information technology, among others.

Additionally, the report includes new legal language that clarifies definitions and requirements for participation in training programs. Notably, it specifies that individuals who have exited shelters are no longer counted in certain participation metrics, and it emphasizes the importance of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) for entry into authorized training programs. The report also notes that there are currently no individuals on waiting lists for training programs, and it provides a comprehensive list of municipalities where approved training programs are located, as well as the employers offering authorized training programs.
