AN ACT CONCERNING A TWO-GENERATIONAL SCHOOL READINESS AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That the general statutes be amended to create a state-wide plan to facilitate the educational and economic success of low-income households by viewing such households as two-generational units comprised of individuals requiring educational services and those requiring career readiness services. The plan shall include: (1) Strategies to help such households access early learning programs, adult education, job training and other related support services; (2) methods to streamline the provision of services through the colocation of child and adult service providers; (3) strategies to coordinate and utilize both public and private entities and organizations that offer services within low-income communities; (4) modalities enabling partnerships with both state and national philanthropic bodies to enable state-wide replication and implementation of the plan; and (5) creation of an interagency work group to oversee the implementation of the plan and the provision of its services within the targeted communities.
Statement of Purpose:
To implement a two-generational school readiness and workforce development plan.
