Senate Bill 240 establishes a workforce literacy grant program under the Department of Workforce Development in Wisconsin. The bill mandates the creation of a program that will award annual grants to nonprofit organizations that provide or support adult literacy services or community-based literacy programs in more than half of the counties in the state. To qualify for the grant, organizations must meet specific criteria, including being a nonprofit entity located in Wisconsin and actively engaged in literacy services.

Organizations awarded the grant can utilize the funds for various purposes, including teaching workforce readiness skills, providing preparation and testing for GED and HSED, and offering digital literacy training. Additionally, the grant can be used to support other literacy programs aimed at enhancing the state's workforce, as well as providing necessary training, materials, and professional support to organizations that deliver direct adult literacy services.
