1. The new Congress and the Biden administration must invest in skills training and workforce now because it’s essential to an inclusive economic recovery.
2. Investments in job creation will only be effective if we train people for those jobs.
3. Building Back Better means including everyone, especially those hurting the most, in opportunities to train for newly created jobs in infrastructure and new industries and technologies.
