Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution expresses support for designating September 2026 as "National Workforce Development Month" and recognizes the importance of workforce training and education programs to the U.S. economy. The measure highlights existing challenges including over 7 million unfilled jobs, unemployment disparities among racial groups, and the projected disruption of 22 percent of jobs by 2030 due to technological change. The resolution emphasizes the success of current workforce programs, including the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and career technical education initiatives, which collectively served millions of Americans in 2024 and helped place over 70 percent of participants into employment. The bill does not create new funding or programs but instead celebrates existing federal and state workforce development efforts and calls for continued support for these initiatives to prepare workers for emerging industries and ensure economic competitiveness.
