Industrial Certification for Coast Guard Veterans Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a report within 180 days of enactment, analyzing how Coast Guard personnel skills (like engineering and navigation) can transfer to the dredging industry. The report must include a plan to connect separating or retiring Coast Guard members with dredging jobs, evaluate certification programs for their skills, and detail coordination with agencies like the Army Corps of Engineers. It directly affects Coast Guard personnel seeking transition opportunities and the dredging industry, which maintains critical waterways for national security. The bill focuses on creating pathways for veteran employment through skill recognition and industry partnerships, without establishing new regulations.
