Honoring Vocational Education Act

This bill requires the Census Bureau to create a new separate category in the Current Population Survey for "Postsecondary Nondegree Awardees" within one year of enactment. It directly affects individuals who hold a high school diploma plus a recognized non-degree credential (like a trade certificate), but not an associate or bachelor's degree, by changing how their educational attainment is tracked. The key mechanism is mandating this specific data category to better measure vocational education outcomes. This change impacts how workforce data is collected and reported, not the vocational programs themselves.
