States and local job training programs would receive information about best practices for helping workers struggling with substance use disorder, and some local areas would get federal grants to offer training in treating and preventing addiction. The goal is to address how substance abuse affects employment and help workers get the support they need to stay in or return to the workforce. This would mainly benefit workers dealing with addiction, employers, and community organizations that run job training programs.
