The <em>Skilled Workforce for America Act<\/em> would create a grant program at the Department of Education to fund workforce training courses at community colleges for jobs that are in-demand in local areas. In addition to skills training, these programs would include wrap-around support services and mentorship to ensure that individuals enrolled in the courses can excel and leverage the skills they obtain into good-paying jobs that don\u2019t require a college degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGetting a good-paying job shouldn\u2019t require a college degree, which is why I\u2019ve been working across the aisle to invest in workforce development and skills training,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m proud to introduce this bill to provide Nevadans more opportunities to receive training for high-demand fields like construction and IT. I\u2019ll keep working to invest in Nevada\u2019s workers as our state continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI commend Senator Rosen for championing this important initiative,\u201d <strong>said Patricia Charlton, Chancellor of the Nevada System of Higher Education.<\/strong> \u201cThis legislation will be essential for advancing the capabilities of our higher education institutions while supporting the success of our students and driving economic growth in Nevada. By securing these grant funds, our NSHE institutions will be able to expand programs that provide top-notch education and training that align perfectly with the needs of our state&#8217;s growing industries. Together, we&#8217;re not just supporting our students&#8217; success; we&#8217;re fueling Nevada&#8217;s economic growth and building a brighter future for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommunity colleges like CSN are a critical part of the nation\u2019s efforts to train its workforce in skilled, high-demand areas,\u201d <strong>said Dr. William L. Kibler, Acting President of the College of Southern Nevada.<\/strong> \u201cBy partnering with business and industry, CSN and its sister institutions remain nimble when responding to changing societal workforce development needs. We applaud efforts to bring attention and funding to this often-overlooked aspect of the community college mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we invest in workforce training programs, particularly through student supports that lead to highly skilled professionals, we positively change lives and strengthen regional economies,\u201d <strong>said Dr. Karin Hilgersom, President of Truckee Meadows Community College. <\/strong>\u201cThe \u2018Skilled Workforce for America Act\u2019 will inspire Nevadians to pursue careers in vital fields fostering a cycle of prosperity and innovation. That\u2019s why I strongly support this Act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been working to support Nevada\u2019s workforce in the midst of economic growth. Last week, Senator Rosen introduced the bipartisan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2024\/07\/25\/rosen-blackburn-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-support-expand-cybersecurity-apprenticeships\/\"><em>Cyber Ready Workforce Act<\/em> <\/a>to support and expand apprenticeships in cybersecurity in order to open the door to more good-paying, cutting edge jobs for Nevadans, including those without a college degree. Earlier this year, she announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2024\/03\/14\/rosen-cortez-masto-announce-delivery-of-federal-funding-they-secured-for-workforce-development-in-southern-nevada\/\">delivery of federal funding<\/a> she secured as part of the Fiscal Year 2023 Bipartisan Appropriations Package for workforce development in southern Nevada. Last year, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2023\/11\/22\/rosen-lummis-urge-national-science-foundation-to-implement-bipartisan-provision-to-bolster-hardrock-mining-workforce-and-critical-mineral-supply-chain\/\">sent a bipartisan letter<\/a> to the U.S. National Science Foundation Director requesting an update on the implementation of the provision she secured in the bipartisan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2022\/08\/09\/rosen-backed-chips-and-science-act-signed-into-law\/\"><em>CHIPS and Science Act<\/em><\/a> to bolster the critical minerals mining workforce.
