Abstract | As the free college debate continues to gain momentum in states across the country, advocates' and policymakers' growing success in reframing access to college as a guaranteed benefit raises the question: Should federal or state governments do more to ensure that guarantee includes access to quality job training programs more generally, and if so, how? Creating the clear pathways to training programs discussed in this report can also be a key component of broader efforts to open up access to middle-skill occupations that have historically excluded women and people of color, such as construction and manufacturing. Predicting precisely the future demand for job training--particularly the scale and type of job training needed--is difficult, and ensuring the quality of the programs offered is and will remain a challenge. The job training delivery system must be both large enough and accessible enough to respond to rapid changes in demand for skills, and targeted enough to provide the particular skills needed in growing fields. This report presents two distinct strategies to create guaranteed access to job training opportunities that do just that: (1) Create a guaranteed job training benefit through debt-free community college; and (2) Scale a job training benefit Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) or Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) by expanding employer engagement.
