14		-	Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
15		-	SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly
16		-	finds that:
17		-	(a) Career advising supports youth and adult learners by providing
18		-	essential information to help them navigate careers and jobs;
19		-	(b) Many students and adult learners in Colorado do not know what
20		-	positions or credentials to pursue to secure high-paying jobs, and they have
21		-	difficulty navigating Colorado's education, training, and employment
22		-	landscape;
23		-	NOTE: This bill has been prepared for the signatures of the appropriate legislative
24		-	officers and the Governor. To determine whether the Governor has signed the bill
25		-	or taken other action on it, please consult the legislative status sheet, the legislative
26		-	history, or the Session Laws.

28		-	Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material added to existing law; dashes
29		-	through words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law and such material is not part of
30		-	the act. (c) Career advisors exist in K-12, higher education, adult education,
31		-	and workforce settings;
32		-	(d) In 2019, as an education leadership council initiative, Colorado
33		-	developed a first-in-the-nation model called the Colorado Career
34		-	Conversations Training project to cross-train career advisors across
35		-	systems. As a result of COVID-19, funding for this project was interrupted.
36		-	(e) The past two years have underscored the need for high-quality
37		-	professional development and training to help existing career advisors be
38		-	dynamic and understand the shifting landscape of our state and regional job
39		-	needs and skills; and
40		-	(f) Program evaluations showed that the Colorado Career
41		-	Conversations Training project resulted in a statewide expansion of highly
42		-	trained career advisors focused on high-need sectors of the economy and
43		-	built increased capacity for a more consistent and sustainable approach to
44		-	career advising in Colorado as a model for the nation.
45		-	(2) Therefore, the general assembly declares that providing access
46		-	to quality career advisors can address Colorado's skill and credential
47		-	attainment gap by helping students and adult learners explore career options
48		-	and complete the necessary education and training to obtain quality
49		-	living-wage jobs in high-need sectors of Colorado's economy.
