Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee
Empowering Workers to Rebuild America's Economy and Longer-Term Competitiveness: Green Skills Training for Workers
“This committee hearing will examine how the administration plans to help prepare workers for these jobs and what the missing policy and resource tools to support that agenda are,” said Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), chairwoman of the Employment and Workplace Safety Subcommittee, in a statement.
A bill introduced earlier this month by Murray and Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) would authorize grants for partnerships among two-year colleges, industry and organized labor in an effort to develop customized regional work forces.
