In a recent publication, the Education Commission of the States analyzed the "State of the State" addresses of 44 governors to find out what issues they care about the most. The group found that 34 governors highlighted workforce development and career and technical education (CTE) as top priorities. Many also proposed investment in job training programs using federal stimulus funds and also promoted increased grant funding to expand CTE programs. This report is encouraging as it shows America's leaders realize the importance of a skilled workforce and understand that further investment in career and technical education is a necessity. Earlier this year, President Biden approved a $45 million increase in funding for Perkins CTE Grants. This was one of ACCA's legislative priorities for the 117th Congress and marks the 6th consecutive year of funding increases for Perkins Grants. You can do your part to support the HVACR workforce by participating in ACCA's action alert on H.R. 3365 (the Student Debt Alternative and CTE Awareness Act) and H.R. 3366 (the Supporting Small Business and Career and Technical Education Act). These bills, introduced by Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25), would make common-sense changes that support small businesses and promote skilled trades.
Referred to the Committee on Small Business, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Labor, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
