Plain-English Summary

The proposal would require schools to provide students with career counseling and guidance to help them explore different job options and educational paths that match their interests and skills. Students would have access to information about various careers, training programs, and job market trends to make more informed decisions about their future. This would affect high school students and their families by giving them better tools to plan for life after graduation, whether that means college, trade school, or entering the workforce directly.
