A strong education system, including adult education, is essential to American growth and success

 
July 9, 2001

A strong education system, including adult education, is essential to American growth and success. This Congress is committed to education, and we are striving to decrease illiteracy, develop a competent workforce and reduce welfare rolls.

 

Pre-vocational programs for single parents trying to make a decent living wage or recently divorced or widowed men and women who have spent the majority of their lives taking care of their homes and children are extremely valuable. These folks need training and direction to help build safe and secure futures for themselves and their families.

 

That's why I'm committed to working with my colleagues on the Education and the Workforce Committee on legislation, like the Homemaker Employment Assistance and Lifeskills (HEAL) Act, to find the best way prepare adults for the workforce.
