This is a do-nothing policy by the @USDOL that has been an utter failure in the past. It implies that there's a "labor shortage", so a portion of the fees collected from filed H-1B petitions will be used to fund programs that "train American workers".

It's the perfect cheap labor funneling scheme:
"There's a shortage of skilled workers so let's keep bringing in more H-1Bs who in turn will help facilitate the training of our own domestic workforce so we won't need the H-1B workers in the future."
"There's a shortage of skilled workers so let's keep bringing in more H-1Bs who in turn will help facilitate the training of our own domestic workforce so we won't need the H-1B workers in the future."
What's laughable about this "H-1B One Workforce Grant Program" asides the horrible name is that it seeks to help train Americans WITHOUT college degrees for the jobs that H-1Bs are occupying. So H-1B workers are occupying jobs that don't require a Bachelor's degree? You don't say
Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis, Norman Matloff, has a great writeup about this:
