August 12, 2025
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Departments of Labor, Commerce, and Education today published a milestone report, America’s Talent Strategy: Equipping American Workers for the Golden Age, which presents a bold vision and concrete actions to transform the federal government’s approach to workforce development. The strategy outlines the Trump Administration’s blueprint for how it will prepare the workforce to seize the opportunities of President Trump’s America First economic agenda and power the nation’s entry into a new Golden Age of economic growth.
Consisting of five strategic pillars, the strategy outlines how the Trump Administration will take innovative actions to empower more Americans to access good-paying jobs, build pipelines of skilled talent for critical industries, prepare the workforce system for an AI-driven economy, and position the U.S. as the dominant global economic leader.
“I’m grateful to Secretaries Lutnick and McMahon for working with the Labor Department to develop this critical, forward-thinking strategy, which lays the foundation for the future of our nation,” said Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer. “Whether it’s expanding proven workforce models like Registered Apprenticeships or improving AI readiness, at President Trump’s direction, we have developed a concrete plan to put the American Worker First. Together, we will ensure our workforce is prepared to fill the hundreds of thousands of good-paying, in-demand jobs created by the President’s bold efforts to restore America as the world’s leading economic superpower.”
