A 5033 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes public-private partnerships to develop artificial intelligence job training.

This bill establishes public-private partnerships to develop artificial intelligence (AI) job training programs in New Jersey. It allows private entities to design and deliver AI-related training for two groups: displaced workers (those losing jobs due to AI adoption) and current workers seeking to upgrade their skills. Under the bill, private partners assume full financial and administrative responsibility for these programs while being exempt from standard state procurement rules and prevailing wage requirements. The Department of Labor will review training proposals, require annual progress reports from an advisory council, and ensure programs are publicly advertised. The goal is to strengthen the state's workforce competitiveness in the AI sector through targeted training.
