Bill Summary
Alabama Workforce Pathways Act, different pathways for high school diplomas based on future career plans
AI Summary
This bill, the Alabama Workforce Pathways Act, aims to provide enhanced academic and skilled trades opportunities for Alabama students by establishing a new Workforce Pathways diploma at the K-12 level. The bill allows students who do not plan to attend a postsecondary institution to earn a high school diploma by completing career and technical education courses instead of the standard four credits in math and science. The State Board of Education will develop the curriculum for this program, and the State Department of Education will work with local boards of education to implement it. The bill also seeks additional funding to construct, retrofit, or upgrade career and technical education centers across the state, as well as provide scholarships for the Alabama Short-Term Credential Program, which offers training for in-demand careers.
