Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP), joined a video call with the Sierra Nevada Job Corps to learn how they are educating at-risk youth across Nevada during COVID-19, provide an update on her work in Congress to support Nevada's workforce, and discuss her work to promote cyber workforce training.
"I'm grateful for organizations like the Sierra Nevada Job Corps who work tirelessly to support students and workers in Nevada," said Senator Rosen. "When it comes to workforce success, education is the great equalizer. Nevada is a growing hub for cyber careers, and we must invest in our future by building the next generation of highly-skilled professionals. Workforce development is a priority for me in Congress, and I'm proud to work with my colleagues on legislation that supports our growing cyber workforce. I will continue working in Congress to ensure that programs like Sierra Nevada Job Corps get the resources they need to educate and train our state's 21st century workforce."
