The proposed bill establishes the "Veteran Employability Training and Career Advancement for Reentry Program" within the Washington State College Board, aimed at providing transitional and soft skills training to justice-involved veterans and their families. The program is designed to enhance economic well-being, reduce recidivism, prevent homelessness, and facilitate reintegration into society. It will be administered by a selected community college, which will collaborate with the Employment Security Department and local WorkSource offices to deliver tailored services. Key components include employing a full-time reentry and educational navigator to assist participants, conducting intake interviews, and developing individualized reentry and employment readiness plans.

Additionally, the bill outlines support for the immediate families of participants, including financial assistance for housing, food, transportation, and work-related expenses. The Department of Veterans Affairs will also play a role in data collection and program oversight, while an interagency work group will assess the feasibility of expanding the program statewide. The program is set to expire on August 1, 2031, and requires annual reporting to the legislature on participant statistics and outcomes.
