The Education for Tomorrow’s Job Act (HR 3154)

The Education for Tomorrow’s Job Act (HR 3154):

Our nation’s high schools are not working for large numbers of young people with students feeling bored, unchallenged, or unclear about the relevance of school. We have failed to address the most basic question students ask, “Why do I need to learn this?” The Education for Tomorrow’s Job Act will allow communities to take part in innovative strategies to help ensure all students have both the knowledge and skills to succeed in college and careers, and also ensure that every student lives up to the fullest extent of their individual potential.

The Education for Tomorrow’s Job Act is the solution that provides school districts with flexibility to implement proven strategies to integrate academic and real world experience. The bill combines college ready academics with career and technical education, work-based learning, and supplemental services to add greater meaning and rigor to learning. By showing students the connection between school and the outside world through partnerships in high-skill, high-wage, and high-demand industries such as engineering or digital media, we can increase high school graduation rates, raise college attendance rates, and improve labor market outcomes for participating students.
