Trump to tout apprenticeships as way to fill jobs gap

I look forward to spearheading the effort in Congress to implement this necessary investment in American workers and economic growth.

“We should measure success based on outcomes”, Acosta said, acknowledging the dichotomy, “and not based simply on spending”.

Durbin and Trump haven’t agreed on much since the president took office, but they do on that point.

Foxconn assembles smartphones and other devices for Apple, Sony, Blackberry and other brands – mostly in China. In today’s rapidly changing economy, it is more important than ever to prepare workers to fill both existing and newly created jobs and to prepare workers for the jobs of the future.

Trump’s resume includes the hit television show, “The Apprentice“. Joining him, from third from left are his daughter Ivanka Trump, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. The so-called “industry-recognized” apprenticeships that the Trump administration will create could sidestep long-held labor standards that define Registered Apprenticeship, which is well known for good wages and quality skill development, and is well-regarded by workers, employers, and policymakers alike.

“Yeah, it’s really easy to get work through the apprenticeship, for at least masonry”, said Hogan.

Participating business leaders are from Rockwell Manufacturing, Oshkosh Corporation, Briggs & Stratton, Mercury Marine and Quad Graphics.

The White House video of the ceremony is embedded below. But the administration is reluctant to devote more taxpayer money to the effort.

Apprenticeship programs, run by the companies who know what their needs are, will help address this massive mismatch. In addition, it will expand access to apprenticeship programs to high schools and other entities, and most importantly, will double funding for apprenticeship programs, providing even more opportunities for all Americans to find a fulfilling career.

The trip put Trump on friendly political ground to highlight pocketbook issues as the investigation of his campaign’s possible collusion with Russian meddling in the presidential election again dominated national news.

Bravo. As the Labor Department notes, “nine in 10 Americans who complete apprentice training land a job, and their average starting salary is $60,000 a year”.

We will be removing federal restrictions that have prevented many different industries from creating apprenticeship programs.

In 2016, almost $90 million in grants were appropriated for apprenticeship expansion.

Trump is likely to visit Waukesha County Technical College.

The order also “requires all Federal agencies to review and evaluate the effectiveness of their job training programs, and consider how to best consolidate certain programs for increased accountability”.

U.S. President Donald Trump signs an executive order at the White House in Washington, U.S. June 15, 2017.

President Donald Trump is having lunch with Republican senators to discuss the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act.

Scott would not answer explicitly when asked if he supported the executive order, saying accountability is paramount.

President Trump can not claim to support American workers with apprenticeships when his budget tells a different story. There are shortages in agriculture, manufacturing, information technology and health care.

We’ve got it going.

“Obamacare is one of the greatest catastrophes that our country has signed into law, and the victims are innocent, hard-working Americans”. “We have to make sure the people are here and they’re going to be well trained”, Trump said.

On Thursday, Trump also touted the importance of getting more women into apprenticeships, but the White House budget eliminates a $1 million women in apprenticeship grants.
