HRES 1383 is a symbolic House resolution designating September 2022 as "National Workforce Development Month."

The resolution acknowledges the importance of programs that train workers for jobs requiring postsecondary education (like community college or apprenticeships) and highlights challenges such as high unemployment among Black and Hispanic workers and pandemic job losses. It directly affects no specific group, as it is a non-binding expression of support for existing federal workforce programs like the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
