HR 657 United States House · 118th Congress

Navigating to Success Act

HR 657, the Navigating to Success Act, amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to improve career services for job seekers. It requires workforce programs to provide comprehensive initial skill assessments (including literacy, digital skills, and foreign credential evaluation), detailed labor market information (like job listings, required skills, and training programs), and expanded career counseling. The bill directly affects individuals seeking employment, particularly immigrants with foreign credentials and those facing barriers to work, by making career guidance more accessible and tailored. Key changes include mandating clear information on job opportunities, training pathways, and financial aid options to help job seekers make informed decisions about their careers.
