The bill establishes a "Student Career Pathways" framework aimed at enhancing student access to high-quality, employer-connected career experiences by improving coordination among education, workforce, and postsecondary systems. It emphasizes the importance of personalized learning plans and career pathway exploration while allowing local innovation and flexibility. The framework is designed to align strategies across secondary, postsecondary, and workforce systems, support coordinated approaches to career experiences, and improve employer engagement to provide students with valuable experiential learning opportunities.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the commissioners of education, employment and economic development, and higher education in reviewing existing statutes and policies to eliminate constraints that hinder local flexibility. They are tasked with developing resources to support the implementation of the framework, including planning tools, model practices, and equitable access strategies for underserved students. A report is required by January 15, 2028, detailing the actions taken to remove barriers, the framework's usage by participating schools, and recommendations for further alignment.
