💡 A new federal workforce development plan just dropped 💡 Here’s what K–12 leaders should take away: 🔹 The “college-for-all” model is being reconsidered. The strategy calls for alternatives to four-year degrees, emphasizing career pathways, apprenticeships, and employer-led training. 🔹 Industry must lead. Education systems are urged to align more closely with industry needs. That means building talent pipelines that reflect real labor market demands—starting in high school. 🔹 AI literacy is essential. Preparing students for an AI-transformed economy is a priority. Rapid reskilling, digital fluency, and competency-based assessments are central to the strategy. 🔹 Integrated systems matter. The federal government aims to streamline fragmented workforce programs.

K–12 leaders should prepare to demonstrate outcomes.
