Create a tax credit for employers that partner with community colleges

Liccardo proposes a tax credit for employers that work with community colleges to identify the skills and curriculum needed for a career path and invest in training resources such as staff, laboratories, or facilities. Employers could qualify for the credit by hiring graduates of the program; Congress could also require a minimum employer investment. The proposal aims to align training with employers’ needs while helping community colleges prepare more students for those jobs.

Context: The passage leaves open whether the credit would depend on hiring students, a minimum investment, or both.

In their own words

I would propose a program that incentivizes employers
