Jobs Now Act of 2025

This bill would change a federal job training law to set up a test program that gives grants (money) to city and county governments and community groups. The goal is to help them create jobs in their own neighborhoods, using local programs that know their communities best.

Key points

• Who is affected: Local governments, community-based organizations, and people looking for work in their communities.
• What changes: A new pilot grant program focused on creating jobs through local projects and services.
• Why it matters: Could bring funding to hometown groups to hire people and expand work opportunities close to where people live.
