Student career pathways framework establishment

SF 4024 establishes a voluntary framework to improve Minnesota students' access to career-connected learning experiences, such as internships and work-based training, by coordinating education, workforce, and postsecondary systems. It requires the state education commissioner to review existing policies and create guidance for schools - without mandating participation - to align personalized learning plans, career education, and employer engagement. The framework focuses on removing barriers to high-quality career pathways, supporting local school flexibility, and using existing resources to connect high school experiences to postsecondary credentials and jobs. It does not create new funding or requirements but aims to streamline coordination across systems to better prepare students for careers.
