What this bill does
**Summary of S. 3319 — Workforce of the Future Act of 2025**
This bill would create two main sets of federal activities related to artificial intelligence (AI) and technology education. First, it directs the Secretaries of Labor, Commerce, and Education to jointly study how AI is affecting the U.S. workforce, producing an interim report within six months, a final report within one year, and a follow-up report three years later. These reports must analyze which industries and demographic groups are most affected by AI, identify skills workers will need, and recommend policies to help workers, educators, and employers adapt—developed in consultation with schools, labor unions, industry, and federal science agencies. Second, the bill authorizes new competitive grant programs at the Department of Education and Department of Labor to expand "emerging and advanced technology education" (covering areas like computer science, AI, and cloud computing) in K-12 schools, community and technical colleges, and workforce training programs.
The bill would primarily affect students, teachers, schools, colleges, workers, and employers involved in technology-related fields, particularly those in underserved communities—low-income, minority, rural, and Tribal populations—who the bill's findings say currently have less access to such education. State and local education agencies, labor organizations, and workforce agencies would be eligible to apply for the grants.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on December 3, 2025, by Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It has not yet been voted on, and would need committee action and votes in both chambers before it could become law.
