Sen. Kay Hagan Legislation Transforms Job Training

Workforce training is about to get a facelift. "The bill ties federal workforce training money to local and regional employers, who will help customize training programs at high schools and community colleges. It also consolidates programs and provides more local flexibility in how they’re run. Hagan’s legislation, now part of the bill, requires that operators of job-training centers prioritize training that will lead to nationally recognized credentials that employers in a region require for jobs." Renee Schoof in McClatchy Newspapers.
