Students and workers could get more AI and tech training

Officially: Workforce of the Future Act of 2025

Schools could get money to teach more computer science, AI, and advanced technology. Workers in jobs changed by AI could get training to keep or move into better jobs. Federal agencies would also study where AI is changing work the most.

Where it stands

Sitting in Education and Workforce

No vote scheduled. Constituent contact is what moves bills out of committee.

What this bill actually does

The Labor, Commerce, and Education Departments must study AI and work together. They must send an early report in 6 months, a final report in 1 year, and an update 3 years later.
The AI workforce reports must show what data is missing and which jobs and industries AI may change. They must also cover job quality, affected groups, needed skills, and ways to teach those skills.
Federal agencies must hear from schools and colleges while writing the reports. That includes Tribal schools, community colleges, technical colleges, minority-serving colleges, labor groups, workforce groups, industry, the National Academies, and federal science and technology offices.
