Immersive Technology for the American Workforce Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill creates a new grant program through the Labor Department to help community colleges and technical schools use virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to train workers.
• The program would provide $50 million each year from 2026 to 2035 to help schools build digital training tools for high-demand jobs in their local areas.
• The training is specifically designed to help veterans, people with disabilities, and workers in rural communities or industries that are losing jobs.
• Schools that receive the money must partner with local businesses to make sure students are learning the exact skills needed to get hired immediately after finishing the program.
• The Labor Department will study which VR training methods work best and share those successful strategies on a public website for other schools to follow.
