A bill for an act modifying the duties of the workforce development board, state board of education, and department of education related to cyber and artificial intelligence.

HF 2528 requires Iowa's workforce development board, state board of education, and department of education to address cyber and artificial intelligence workforce needs. It mandates K-12 public schools to develop cyber/AI literacy standards, establishes partnerships between colleges and private industry for internships and degree programs, and creates a grant program for training (subject to funding). The bill also directs the state board to set statewide education standards, create a voluntary school certification program for AI/cyber compliance, and requires the education department to launch a community awareness initiative with digital resources and targeted outreach for groups like seniors and law enforcement. These provisions directly affect Iowa students, educators, schools, and professionals seeking career transitions in cyber/AI fields.
