Establishes New Jersey Pathways to Career Opportunities Initiative Act.
This bill creates the New Jersey Pathways to Career Opportunities Initiative, operated by the New Jersey Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development. It establishes Centers of Workforce Innovation focused on high-demand fields like healthcare, cybersecurity, renewable energy, and manufacturing, which will develop public curricula and provide skills training. The initiative directly helps students, workers, and job seekers access career pathways while connecting employers with skilled workers through partnerships with schools, colleges, and businesses.
