Workforce PATHWAYS Act

The Workforce PATHWAYS Act (S. 1442) would establish a new nonprofit organization called the Corporation for Career Pathways, designed to help Americans navigate job training and education for high-demand industries. This corporation would be responsible for creating an annual "United States Career Forecast and Resource Guide" to inform students and workers about which skills, certifications, and apprenticeships are currently most valuable to employers.

For everyday citizens, this bill aims to make it easier to find and transition into stable careers by centralizing information on non-traditional education, such as trade schools and registered apprenticeships. It also creates a dedicated fund to provide grants to state and local workforce boards, helping communities better align local job training programs with the actual needs of the modern economy.
