Connecting Education Data to Jobs: Improving Career and Technical Training

This Act reforms how educational data is collected and analyzed, focusing heavily on Career and Technical Education (CTE). It mandates linking student educational pathways with labor market outcomes, such as wages and employment records, to determine program effectiveness. This ensures that data is available to evaluate which training programs successfully lead students into the workforce.
Key points
Focus on Career Training Effectiveness: Federal research centers must conduct large-scale studies to identify the most effective, cost-efficient, and scalable methods for delivering career and technical education.
Linking Education Records to Workforce Data: The bill promotes the use of wage and employment data to track student outcomes, encouraging coordination with agencies like the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Authorization of Appropriations: The bill authorizes $100 million for fiscal year 2025 to support grants for eligible entities to develop statewide longitudinal data systems.
