          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Youth Workforce Readiness Act of 2023&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires the Department of Labor to award grants to certain national youth-serving organizations for comprehensive workforce readiness programs that are provided to youth and take place before or after school, during summer vacation or a holiday, or on the weekend (i.e., out-of-school-time programs).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Such grants must be used to develop and implement nationwide youth workforce readiness programs, including for activities such as on-the-job training and leadership development opportunities, internships, and other supportive services.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also requires local workforce development boards to establish youth councils as subgroups of the boards. &lt;/p&gt;</text>
