Assembly Bill 803 aims to expand the scope of the Fast Forward Program, which is administered by the Department of Workforce Development and provides grants for workforce training. The bill proposes to renumber and amend existing legal language regarding grants for teacher training, specifically removing the reference to "teachers in dual enrollment programs" and replacing it with a broader introduction that includes dual enrollment programs as one of the authorized purposes for grants.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that allows grants for programs that offer evidence-based educational training, leadership development, on-site job experience, and other support necessary for individuals to acquire the skills and experience needed to pursue careers as teachers. This expansion is intended to enhance the workforce development efforts in the education sector by providing more comprehensive training opportunities for prospective teachers.
