Federal Funding.
While Congress invested significant new resources in workforce development as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, America’s investments in skills are not aligned with labor market realities. The U.S. has cut investments in skills attainment—particularly for workforce education and training that occurs outside K-12 and traditional higher education systems—at a time when a skilled workforce is more critical than ever if our nation is to remain competitive in the global economy.
This page contains materials and analysis, developed by National Skills Coaltion, about the major workforce and job training elements in the Fiscal Year 2010 budget.
