Bill > HB1025

This bill establishes the CareerBound Program, a pilot program administered by the Department of Labor and Industry, which aims to provide students with career exploration opportunities and exposure to high-priority occupations. The bill sets requirements for school-to-work pilot programs, including the curriculum and occupational focus, and outlines an application and approval process for these programs. It also provides a tax credit for businesses that participate as "business partners" in the school-to-work pilot programs. The bill requires the Department, participating agencies, and the Workforce Development Board to jointly submit annual and final reports on the implementation and outcomes of the CareerBound Program and the school-to-work pilot programs.
