Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and Ranking Member Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-VA) released the following statements regarding the inclusion of the bipartisan A Stronger Workforce for America Act within the House’s continuing resolution:
“Meeting the demands of the 21st century economy requires a targeted approach that sufficiently equips the hardworking men and women – who are the backbone of America’s workforce – with the tools and education they need to keep pace. By including the bipartisan A Stronger Workforce for America Act in the House’s continuing resolution, transformative change that will leave an indelible impact upon generations of Americans to come is secured,” said Chairwoman Virginia Foxx.
“Americans need a workforce development system that works for them and their families,” said Ranking Member Robert C. “Bobby” Scott. “I am pleased that the House Continuing Resolution (CR) includes bipartisan, bicameral legislation entitled A Stronger Workforce for America Act. This critical bill strengthens our workforce system and benefits job seekers and employers. A Stronger Workforce for America Act also ensures workers will benefit from innovative federal workforce development programs and be able to access to good-paying jobs. It is imperative that Congress pass the CR so ‘A Stronger Workforce for America’ can become law.”
