For the first time in history, there are more job openings in America
than people looking for jobs. Read the report: USdol job report.
This means that employers should consider "New Beginners" for employment.
Your competition is less. If you want a job, you can get one!
From: "The White House" <info@mail.whitehouse.gov> Subject: Employers commit to training 3.8 million workers Date: July 20, 2018 at 10:32:48 AM CDT
"…There are currently more job openings than unemployed workers in the US, and companies are having a hard time finding enough workers with the right skills.
Many new jobs require more than a high school education, but not necessarily a four-year degree.
"America's vocational education, whether for high school students .... or for mid- to late- career workers should be just as innovative, dynamic and successful as our people,"
Ivanka Trump said at a press conference Thursday. The president's daughter, a senior White House adviser, is leading the White House's efforts on workforce development.
Many of the companies already have training programs in place. IBM, for example, created a career and technical education model now used at 79 high schools across the country.
The model, called P-Tech, was touted by Trump Thursday. Students can enroll for grades 9 to 14 and earn both a high school and an associate's degree in a science, tech, engineering or
math related field.
The 3.8 million additional training opportunities are beyond what companies already have in place.
The government currently helps fund 40 job training programs spread across 14 agencies. The White House has proposed a plan to "reorganize and consolidate" the $17 billion
it spends on those programs."
Programs are available through the Work Innovations Opportunity Act (WIOA) at Workforce Centers in Riverside and all over the country.
