This bill establishes the New Jersey Workforce Industry Needs Scholarship, which provides financial assistance to students pursuing professional certificates, industry-recognized credentials, diplomas, or degrees from eligible programs at county colleges or county vocational schools in New Jersey. The Secretary of Higher Education, in consultation with other state agencies, will develop a list of eligible programs that prepare students for high-demand jobs in industries such as advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. The scholarship covers tuition, fees, and expenses up to $5,000 per year, with priority given to students seeking degrees or credentials in high-need areas. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit an annual report on the scholarship program's implementation and outcomes.
