H.R. 1197 · 116th Congress
Youth Access to American Jobs Act of 2019
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Youth Access to American Jobs Act of 2019
This bill directs the Secretary of Education to award grants to 10 eligible entities to carry out a program for students to
- enroll in and complete science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and STEM-focused career and technical education (CTE) courses and other courses during grades 11 and 12 at a secondary school served by a local educational agency (LEA) partner that prepare them for community college and a career in a state-identified high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand industry sector or occupation, or the manufacturing field or other vocational or CTE field;
- enroll in a course of study related to such a career pathway or in a youth apprenticeship program at the community college upon graduating from the secondary school; and
- enroll, for a two-year period, in the youth apprenticeship program or the joint-labor management training program upon receiving an associate's degree from the community college.
An eligible entity is a partnership (1) among one or more LEAs, community colleges, and youth apprenticeship programs or joint labor-management training programs; and (2) that works with an employer in a state-identified high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand industry sector or occupation that is serving, or seeking to expand its capacity to serve, youth apprenticeship programs.
