Workforce Training Legislation Debated

The House continues to debate the Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills (SKILLS) Act, H.R. 803, which will help reform the nation’s job training system by strengthening employer engagement in state and local workforce decisions, as well as giving states and localities more flexibility and better aligning Registered Apprenticeship programs with local workforce investment systems or workforce investment boards. AGC supports the legislation and floor vote is expected tomorrow. However, the bill faces an uphill battle after that.
