In Committee

Summary

This bill would expand the Experienced Services Program to support cooperative initiatives that improve higher education teaching and paid work-based learning. It also adds clear definitions for institutions of higher education, land-grant colleges, and work-based learning to align the program with existing education laws.

Show full summary
  • Colleges and universities could use the program to strengthen teaching programs and support paid work-based learning tied to classroom instruction. These cooperative projects would be explicitly authorized.
  • Students and early career learners could gain more paid, work-based learning opportunities connected to their academic programs.
  • Land-grant colleges and program administrators get clearer rules. The new definitions tie the program to existing federal education statutes and may simplify collaboration under those laws.
