A 3647 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Summer Earn and Learn Pilot Program."

This New Jersey bill establishes a three-year "Summer Earn and Learn Pilot Program" to help students recover from pandemic-related learning loss. It provides eligible students (NJ residents in good academic standing, aged to work) with paid summer employment opportunities alongside supplemental learning support (at least 3 hours/day, 5 days/week). The program uses federal pandemic relief funds (CARES, ARP, etc.) to pay students a stipend at or above minimum wage. Participating schools must submit plans detailing learning content and employer partnerships, with the state coordinating with labor agencies to create a public list of approved employers.
