Bill > AB539

This bill authorizes the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) to establish a voluntary career coaching program for middle and junior high school students, subject to available funding. The program aims to provide students with career exploration guidance and help them develop skills needed for future career readiness, including insights into potential career pathways and financial literacy. When implementing the program, the Department is required to collaborate with various stakeholders like school districts, chambers of commerce, nonprofit organizations, and development authorities, with a specific focus on placing career coaches in schools located in zip codes with high unemployment rates. The bill allows DETR to seek additional funding through gifts, donations, and grants, and permits the department to enter into contracts or award grants to organizations with expertise in supporting the program's goals. By providing early career guidance, the program seeks to help students understand potential career opportunities and develop skills that will be valuable in high school and beyond.
