Skilled technical occupations—defined as occupations that require a high level of knowledge in a technical domain but do not require a bachelor’s degree for entry—are a key component of the U.S. economy and are in great demand by employers. A committee under the auspices of the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy examined the coverage, effectiveness, flexibility, and coordination of the policies and various programs that prepare Americans for skilled technical jobs. The committee’s report, Building America’s Skilled Technical Workforce, provides action-oriented recommendations for improving the American system of technical education, training, and certification.
