In a rare display of bipartisanship the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a job training bill on Wednesday. The vote was 415 -6.
The measure was already approved by the Senate and now goes to the White House for the President’s signature.
The “Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act” overhauls the federal effort to promote training and education for American workers. It streamlines programs across government agencies, invests in training for jobs that employers can’t fill because of a skills gap and aims to reduce administrative costs for programs at the state and federal level.
