The Tomorrow’s Workforce Coalition supports the bipartisan, bicameral Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act (S. 756 / H.R. 1151), which would expand qualified expenses under 529 savings plans to include postsecondary training and credentialing, such as licenses and nongovernmental certifications; it would provide valuable tax-advantaged resources to more workers pursuing career growth, mid-career changes or alternative career pathways.

"We’re proud to announce that over 900 organizations have united as part of the Tomorrow’s Workforce Coalition," said ASAE President and CEO Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE. "The Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act is a powerful, bipartisan solution that gives workers of all backgrounds, skill levels, and ages the opportunity to invest in their professional growth. The diverse support from organizations across numerous industries sends a clear message: the private sector is ready to champion workers pursuing career advancement, mid-career transitions, or alternative pathways. It’s time for Congress to act decisively and pass this bill into law, ensuring a stronger, more resilient workforce for the future."

ASAE will be holding its annual legislative fly-in later this month. Participants from across the nonprofit sector will hold 100+ meetings with Members of Congress advocating for the passage of the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act. Throughout 2025, the Coalition’s 900+ members will continue to make their voices heard on this important issue.
