Evidence
Sponsor: Rep. Cleaver, Emanuel [D-MO-5] (Introduced 12/11/2025). Official title: "To promote a 21st-century workforce, to authorize grants to support emerging and advanced technology education, and to support training and quality employment for workers in industries most impacted by artificial intelligence." Latest action: referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
The press release says Cleaver and colleagues introduced a House resolution during National Teacher Appreciation Week to recognize the impact of America’s teachers and encourage appreciation for teachers and education staff. Cleaver said the resolution demonstrates appreciation for teachers who improve students' lives nationwide.
Assessments
Cleaver showed support for the goal through a symbolic teacher-appreciation resolution and by introducing the Workforce of the Future Act of 2025, which directly relates to workforce training and advanced technology education. However, the evidence shows no enacted federal policy or funded program delivering affordable and accessible education or workforce training opportunities; the bill remained at committee referral. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
