What this bill does
The Data for American Jobs Act of 2023 would amend two existing federal education laws—the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 and the Educational Technical Assistance Act of 2002—to place greater emphasis on career and technical education (CTE) and workforce outcomes within federal education research and data systems. It would direct the Institute of Education Sciences and its component centers to research, evaluate, and report on CTE programs, coordinate with agencies such as the Departments of Labor, Commerce, Agriculture, and Health and Human Services, and align education data with workforce and labor market information. It also expands eligibility and priorities for grants supporting statewide longitudinal data systems, which track student progress from early education through postsecondary training and into employment, and updates the funding authorization for that grant program to $100,000,000 for fiscal year 2025.
The bill primarily affects federal education research agencies, state and local educational agencies, postsecondary institutions, and workforce data systems. It would expand what kinds of student and workforce data are collected and shared, aiming to better track outcomes related to career and technical education and employment.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on July 13, 2023, by Senator Tammy Baldwin, with Senators Young and Kaine as cosponsors, and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It has not received a vote and would need committee action and further votes in both chambers before it could become law.
