US SB3846

Replaces "customized training" in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act with "employer-directed skills development," defined as programs designed to meet specific employer skill demands with a commitment to hire participants upon completion

Requires employers to pay a portion of training costs based on company size: 10% minimum for employers with 50 or fewer employees, 25% for 51-99 employees, and 50% for employers with 100 or more employees

Allows employers to directly refer individuals to receive training services without requiring one-stop operators to conduct interviews or assessments, provided the employer certifies the individual needs training and has qualifications to succeed

Creates a new performance indicator measuring the ratio of participants who completed on-the-job training or employer-directed skills development before exiting to total participants who received training services

Establishes requirements for employer-directed skills development contracts, including disclosure of training provider, program length, credentials awarded, costs, employer contribution, and employment commitment
