The PAC advises the President in the following areas: (i) what is
needed for the development, implementation, and coordination of
educational programs and initiatives at the Department and other
agencies to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for Black
Americans; (ii) how to promote career pathways for in-demand jobs for
Black students, including registered apprenticeships, internships,
fellowships, mentorships, and work-based learning initiatives; (iii)
how to increase public awareness of and generate solutions for the
educational and training challenges and equity disparities that Black
Americans face and the causes of these challenges; and (iv) approaches
to establish local and national partnerships with public, private,
philanthropic, and nonprofit stakeholders to advance the mission and
objectives of Executive Order 14050, consistent with applicable law.
