Improving Career Pathways
The President's Request also recognizes that a skilled workforce is
critical for both strong communities and a strong economy by proposing to
make targeted investments that would help build the capacity of our
workforce development system. These investments include an increase of
$108 million in Career and Technical Education National Programs to support
an innovation grants initiative focused on youth work-based learning and
industry credential attainment, along with a $25 million increase under
Adult Education National Leadership Activities to expand college bridge
programs for low-skilled adults without a high school degree. In addition,
the American Jobs Plan would provide $1 billion in mandatory funding in
fiscal year 2022 ($10 billion total over 10 years) to expand career
pathways for underserved middle and high school students that include
partnerships with employers, community colleges and other partners and
allow students to earn credentials or college credit while still in high
school; and also would invest $100 million annually over the next 10 years
to help connect job-seeking adults to employment opportunities by focusing
on foundational skills and embedded career services.
