## Summary

**Expand AI and tech education and retraining** to help students and workers adapt to AI-driven job changes. The bill orders a federal assessment of AI's effects on the workforce and funds grant programs across K–12, higher education, and workforce training. - Students and schools: Creates Education Department grants to build a pre-K through middle school-to-high-school pathway in emerging and advanced technology education, with a focus on reaching underrepresented students and a cap of 15% of grant funds for equipment. - Workers and labor organizations: Creates Labor Department grants for people seriously affected by AI, prioritizing labor organizations and those with a high school diploma or equivalent, to provide training, certifications, and pathways to high-skill, high-wage jobs; grants run 3–5 years. - Accountability and funding: Requires multi-year federal reports on AI and the workforce, semiannual grantee data disaggregated by race, ethnicity, and gender, and authorizes national activity reserves up to 2.5%. It authorizes $160 million for Education grants and $90 million for Labor grants for FY2026. *Authorizes $160 million for Education grants and $90 million for Labor grants for FY2026; if appropriated, this would increase federal spending by $250 million in FY2026.*
