The Greater Greenwich Greenwich Chamber of Commerce has joined with more than 760 trade groups, professional organizations, businesses and employers
on the Tomorrow's Workforce Coalition, which was established to advocate for the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act (S. 722/H.R. 1477).
The bill would expand 529 savings plans to include costs to obtain and maintain skills training and post-secondary credentials, such as licenses and nongovernmental certifications. The American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and the Professional Certification Coalition (PCC) lead the Coalition.
The Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act would provide valuable tax-advantaged resources for families, students and workers—with or without a college degree—who pursue career growth, mid-career changes or pathways
that diverge from a typical academic route.
The Coalition's goal is to transform 529s from "college savings plans" to "career savings plans."
The Greater Greenwich Chamber of Commerce joined the Tomorrow's Workforce Coalition to help invest in our people, to reinforce our commitment to professional development, and to advocate for a stronger workforce.
