Rosen Helps Introduce 21st Century Workforce Partnerships Act

Statement

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), announced that she has joined Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to help introduce the 21st Century Workforce Partnerships Act (S.2670), legislation that would provide federal support for middle and high schools to partner with institutions of higher education, industry partners, and apprenticeship programs to create an education or career training program for students.

"Developing our students' career readiness will provide them with skills necessary to succeed in a 21st century economy," said Senator Rosen. "This legislation would create career pathway and performance tracking programs focused on serving low-income students, out-of-school youth, and students with disabilities, among many others. I will continue working to support legislation that prepares our students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, for future success."
