Employers, unions, and other collaborators will create thousands of jobs, expand Registered Apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships, and increase recruitment from underserved communities
On Wednesday, First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Augusta and Pittsburgh for Workforce Hub convenings in each city, announcing commitments to equitable workforce development from dozens of Hub collaborators. In May, the Biden-Harris Administration named Augusta and Pittsburgh two of five Workforce Hubs where President Biden’s Investing in America agenda—including the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act—are catalyzing historic private and public investments and creating good-paying jobs. In Augusta and Pittsburgh, and across the country, these investments show how Bidenomics—the President’s vision for growing the economy from the middle out and bottom up—is creating high-quality career opportunities for students and workers.
Key commitments to expand pathways into good jobs from Augusta and Pittsburgh Hub collaborators are below.
