## Summary

**Creates a 30% employer tax credit for AI workforce training** to help businesses pay for employee AI courses, wages while training, and in-house programs. It pairs the credit with a federal outreach campaign and annual reporting to promote uptake. - Employers would get a credit equal to 30% of qualified AI training costs, capped at $2,500 per employee each year. The cap is adjusted for inflation starting after 2026, and the credit bars other credits or deductions for the same expenses and reduces the basis of property bought with those expenses. - Workers would see more employer-covered training because qualified expenses include enrollment in accredited AI programs, workshops, certificate courses, wages while attending, and in-house training development. - Treasury, Labor, and Commerce must run a joint outreach campaign within 180 days and provide a congressional report within 360 days and annually, with materials distributed through small business development centers, trade associations, and workforce boards.
