Gateway to Careers Act of 2023

The Gateway to Careers Act of 2023 establishes a competitive grant program to fund career pathway partnerships between workforce development organizations and education providers (like community colleges and career schools). These partnerships must serve populations facing employment or education barriers, prioritize evidence-based approaches, and provide support services such as childcare and transportation. Grants require partnerships to develop integrated programs with clear performance metrics, tracking outcomes like credential attainment, employment rates, and earnings for participants. The program mandates annual reporting on participant demographics and results, with funds reserved for independent evaluation to identify effective practices.
