This bill amends federal career and technical education law to require states to create searchable online directories listing all career and technical education programs and pathways available within the state. Each program listing would include detailed information such as the program name, location, industry focus, courses offered, credentials awarded, and connections to postsecondary institutions or employers. The directories must be searchable by school location, industry type, and credential type, and states must update them at least once per year. The bill affects high schools, community colleges, workforce agencies, and students seeking career training by making it easier for them to find and compare available education options aligned with actual job market demands. No new federal funding is specified in the legislation, as it works within existing career and technical education funding structures.
