Job Training

Democrats want to make sure that people can move quickly to new jobs, higher incomes, and successful futures. Part of that is providing American workers with the training they need to move from one job to another in today's increasingly complex workforce. But Republicans have proposed slashing job training funding by seven percent over the past two years in the midst of an economic downturn with prolonged high unemployment rates.

Democrats believe that every unemployed worker should be able to learn new skills and find out about new opportunities. That's why the Democratic plan to promote job training includes:

Innovation Agenda. The Democrats Innovation Agenda is a committment to competitiveness, including policies and legislation that will create an educated, skilled workforce in the vital areas of science, math, engineering, and information technology. It will also provide small businesses with the tools to encourage entrepreneurial innovation and job creation.

Full funding for job training programs. Democrats want to fully fund existing job training programs. Republicans have proposed to eliminate job training and education opportunities for more than 45,000 dislocated workers who need help finding their way back into our nation's workforce.

Create the YES to WORK program. Democrats have proposed to create the YES to WORK program, which provides funds for summer and after-school employment opportunities, workforce preparation, and career awareness activities for youth who are in school.
