Introduced

Summary

Creates an ongoing federal plan and data collection focused on the skilled technical workforce. This bill would require the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics to prepare a plan to initiate and maintain a data collection and analytical capability within 1 year and then update that plan on a biennial basis, and it would narrow survey content to the skilled technical workforce.
