Latest Action · February 15, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
This bill expands the types of career counseling and guidance programs that schools can fund through existing federal student support grants. It allows schools to use these funds for activities like helping students explore career options, assessing regional job market trends, training school counselors, and connecting students with opportunities such as apprenticeships, internships, dual enrollment programs, and degree pathways. The legislation also encourages schools to partner with workforce development agencies and use new technologies like artificial intelligence to support career counseling. By broadening what counts as eligible use of these grants, the bill aims to give students better access to career guidance and help them understand their postsecondary education and employment options. No new funding is created by this bill; rather, it expands how existing education grants can be spent.
