PRINTING United Alliance, a member of Tomorrow's Workforce Coalition (TWC) and the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), is pleased to announce that the bipartisan Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act (H.R. 1151/S. 756) has been reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
The majority of America’s workforce consists of middle-skill jobs that require more than a high school education but not a bachelor’s degree, and key industries are struggling to find adequately trained workers to fill these roles. The Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act would expand qualified expenses under 529 savings plans to include postsecondary training and credentialing, such as licenses and nongovernmental certifications. It would provide valuable tax-advantaged resources to more workers pursuing career growth, mid-career changes, or alternative career pathways.
If the legislation passes, the Alliance's iLEARNING+ courses would be eligible for the use of 529 savings plan funds to cover the costs of the course. Please take a moment to make your voice heard on this important issue and share this grassroots campaign with your stakeholders to amplify our impact!
