house 02/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to ensure that educational programs are more aligned with industry requirements by clarifying clock hour requirements for certain training programs, aiming to better prepare students for employment. This proposed legislation seeks to adjust the Higher Education Act of 1965, specifying that eligible training programs should not exceed 150% of the required clock hours, providing consistency and clarity for students and educational institutions.
