FSAE has joined 165+ organizations in signing on to ASAE's Tomorrow's Workforce Coalition, to help pass the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act (HR 1477 / S 722), bipartisan legislation to expand qualified expenses under 529 savings plans to include postsecondary training and credentialing programs, such as licenses and nongovernmental certifications. It would also provide valuable tax-advantaged resources for students and workers-with or without a college degree-who pursue career growth, mid-career changes or career pathways that diverge from a typical academic route.
Which means that associations' credentialing programs can become more accessible and affordable to young adults and job seekers.
