Directs DOLWD to develop and maintain industry-valued credential list.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to create and regularly update a public list of industry-valued credentials - such as certificates, diplomas, or certifications that employers actively seek and that lead to better wages, career advancement, or job security. DOLWD must base the list on state labor market data and direct employer feedback, updating it annually and making it available online as both a list and a downloadable file. The list will help workers identify credentials that align with employer needs and job market demands across New Jersey.
