Explanation
The bill results in a cost of $113,814 in FY 24 and $146,751 annually
thereafter by requiring the Office of Workforce Strategy (OWS) to create
a workforce training and experiential learning program to ensure
training access for careers in mechatronics, cybersecurity, 3-D printing,
the Internet of things, and chartered global management accounting.
OWS would require one full-time position at an annual cost of
$131,751 ($92,250 for salary and $39,501 for fringe benefits) to develop
the application process, develop career pathways, and coordinate the
program with regional workforce development boards, higher
education institutions, and related businesses. OWS would also incur
additional costs of $15,000 annually associated with marketing materials
and other administrative expenses.
