        <text><![CDATA[ <p><b>Investing in Tomorrow's Workforce Act of 2018 </b></p> <p>This bill allows a business-related tax credit for employers who increase spending on worker training programs compared to their average training expenses for the three previous years. </p> <p>The tax credit is equal to the sum of (1) 40% of the increase for high-demand occupation training expenses, and (2) 20% of the increase for low-demand occupation training expenses. The expenses must be for full-time employees whose compensation does not exceed $82,000 for the year. </p> <p>A &quot;high-demand occupation training expense&quot; is designed to lead to employment in an occupation that is expected to experience not fewer than 20% occupational openings over a specified 10-year period. A &quot;low-demand occupation training expense&quot; is designed to lead to employment in any other occupation. </p>]]></text>
