It is the sense of Congress that— the COVID–19 pandemic has created significant challenges in the nation’s labor market that will likely have lasting effects; millions of individuals cannot enroll or participate in workforce training programs due to restrictions on movement related to the pandemic; online and virtual training services can help workers learn new skills, particularly during pandemic-related closures and for in-demand industry sectors such as information technology and cybersecurity;
Congress has previously recognized the need to ensure access to online and virtual training services, including through section 122(b)(1)(B) of the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act ( 29 U.S.C. 3152(b)(1)(B) ); some State governments, State workforce boards, or local workforce boards have established eligibility criteria or other procedures that make it difficult or impossible for providers of online and virtual training services to qualify as eligible training providers, such as physical presence requirements; and all State governments, State workforce boards, and local workforce boards should move promptly to make programs of online and virtual training services available to individuals residing in their areas.
