Pathways to Prosperity Act

The Pathways to Prosperity Act creates a new grant program to help community colleges develop workforce training programs aligned with local employer needs. It provides funding for community colleges to form partnerships with employers in high-demand industries, creating career pathways that lead to recognized postsecondary credentials. Recipients must track program outcomes including completion rates, employment placement, and earnings, and report this data annually. The program specifically aims to improve job training quality for community college students, particularly those with barriers to employment or from underserved communities.
