This bill expands the functions of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to include the development and maintenance of workforce frameworks for critical and emerging technologies and other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domains. These frameworks are intended to bolster scientific and technical education, training, and workforce development by providing a common taxonomy and lexicon for tasks, knowledge, and skills. NIST will be required to review and update these frameworks at least once every three years, consulting with various stakeholders including industry, government, and academic institutions. The legislation specifically mandates that NIST develop and publish a workforce framework for artificial intelligence within 540 days of enactment. It also requires NIST to periodically review and update the existing NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity , including reporting to Congress on proposed changes and stakeholder consultation. All frameworks developed under this Act must consider including: relevant professional and employability skills; support or operations work roles (e.g., administration, ethics, privacy, supply chain security); information promoting career discovery and pathways for individuals from diverse backgrounds; and guidance on acquiring relevant credentials. Additionally, NIST is tasked with assessing the need for other critical and emerging technology frameworks, such as for quantum information science, and developing them as appropriate.
