What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Fostering the Future for American Children and Families Act. It requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Labor to study existing programs that support job training and apprenticeships for foster youth. The bill also requires these officials to submit a report of their findings and recommendations to Congress within one year. After the study is complete, the bill establishes the Fostering the Future Pipeline Program to provide competitive grants for expanding job training access. Additionally, the bill allows certain education and training vouchers to be used for short-term, career-focused, credential-granting programs. The Act and its amendments take effect six months after enactment.
