I favor stronger investments in public schools, including early learning through high school, our trade schools, and centers of higher learning, including community colleges to meet the ever-evolving demands for a skilled workforce.
Too many people give up on their dreams once they enter the workforce and get trapped in the everyday grind. We need to support adults in their pursuit of developing new skills by investing in trade schools and centers of higher learning. We need to invest in additional trade schools to give people a route to high-paying careers that are in high demand. Investing in the strength of our workforce is a critical component to attracting new industries and jobs.
I have visited and will continue to visit Building Trades Apprenticeship programs, and believe they can help those students that look for alternative career paths.
