**This bill would create a pilot to build and test interoperable talent marketplaces and open‑standards workforce data systems** that help match skills to jobs, improve labor market information, and protect user privacy. - Workers and jobseekers gain portable learning and employment records they control, plus tools to translate skills into job matches and training opportunities. - State and local workforce agencies can receive grants to build or connect longitudinal data systems and talent marketplaces. The Secretary must allocate between 5% and 10% of specific WIOA formula funds each year for the pilot while funds are available. - Employers, training providers, and multistate partners get support for standardized credential registries, skills profile generators, validated skills assessments aligned with the Office of Personnel Management, and data collaboratives to track interstate employment and earnings trends.
