Technology Education and Training Act of 2001

The Technology Education and Training Act of 2001 (S. 762) was designed to make information technology (IT) education more affordable for workers and employers through new tax incentives. The bill proposed a tax credit for businesses and individuals to help cover the costs of certified IT training programs, while also expanding existing education credits—such as the Hope and Lifetime Learning credits—to include specialized technology training centers. Additionally, the legislation sought to establish a national advisory board to set quality standards and certification requirements for these training providers.
