The Secretary of Defense, acting through the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment program of the Department of Defense, shall evaluate and further develop workforce development training programs as defined by the Secretary of Defense for training the skilled industrial workers defined by the Secretary of Defense and needed in the defense industrial base through the National Imperative for Industrial Skills Program of the Department of Defense (or a successor program). In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall prioritize workforce development training programs that— are innovative, lab-based, or experientially-based; rapidly train skilled industrial workers for employment with entities in the defense industrial base faster than traditional classroom-based workforce development training programs and at the scale needed to measurably reduce, as rapidly as possible, the shortages of skilled industrial workers in the defense industrial base; and address the specific manufacturing requirements and skills that are unique to critical industrial sectors of the defense industrial base as defined by the Secretary of Defense, such as naval shipbuilding.
