In any fiscal year in which the total amount appropriated under section 11 exceeds $50,000,000, the Secretary of Labor shall, from the amount appropriated under section 11 to carry out this section, allocate funds to States using a formula based on each State’s share of the national population of women from families with an income of less than 200 percent of the poverty threshold, according to the most recent data available by the Bureau of the Census. If a State does not receive funds under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall reallocate such funds to other States in the same proportion funds are allocated under such paragraph.
In order to receive an allocation of funds under subsection (a), the Governor of a State shall submit a State Plan that describes how the State plans to— distribute such funds to eligible entities located in the State to increase women’s participation in high-wage, high-demand occupations in which women are currently underrepresented in the State’s workforce in accordance with section 5; and use such funds to carry out the statewide activities described in subsection (c). The State Plan described in paragraph
(1)shall be administered by a State workforce development board (as referred to in the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 ( 29 U.S.C. 2801 et seq. )), in consultation with a State entity (as defined in section 118(c) of the Carl D. Perkins Career Technical Education Act of 2006 ( 20 U.S.C. 2328 )). The Secretary of Labor shall review each State plan submitted pursuant to this subsection within 60 days of receipt. The designated State entity may reserve not more than 15 percent of the grant for statewide activities to— provide technical assistance to eligible entities receiving funding under this Act and to State registered apprenticeship programs and sponsors and joint apprenticeship training councils on meeting their enrollment goal for women in nontraditional occupations; develop institutional and cross-agency policies and protocols such as memoranda of understanding that set goals for the hiring of specific percentages of women served under this Act into registered apprenticeships and permanent employment openings in publicly assisted projects; engage in public education and outreach activities, to overcome stereotypes about women in nontraditional occupations, including the development of educational and marketing materials; and provide training and technical assistance to overcome gender inequity among employers, registered apprenticeship programs, and State equal employment opportunity and affirmative action agencies.
