This House resolution expresses support for officially recognizing September 2026 as National Workforce Development Month. The goal is to raise awareness about the critical role workforce development plays in preparing Americans for employment, improving skills, and helping businesses find qualified workers. The resolution highlights challenges such as millions of unfilled jobs, high unemployment rates especially among minority groups, and the need for updated skills due to technological changes. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration among government agencies, educational institutions, employers, and community organizations to provide training, apprenticeships, and career services. The resolution also references existing federal programs like the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and career and technical education initiatives that serve millions of workers and students. By designating this month, Congress aims to promote federal efforts supporting workforce development and acknowledge its role in economic growth, job creation, and reducing unemployment disparities. The resolution itself does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal statement encouraging continued focus on workforce training and education.
