Counseling for Career Choice Act

This bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to require K-12 schools to strengthen career counseling programs. It mandates schools to identify regional workforce trends, develop personalized career plans for students, connect students with opportunities like apprenticeships and dual enrollment, and partner with workforce agencies. The law also requires professional development for counselors and access to current workforce data to help students plan postsecondary paths. Directly affecting public school students and counselors, it focuses on concrete changes to career guidance rather than new funding.
