Trump Proposal to Streamline Job Training to Cut Funding to States
The plan would fold about a dozen programs into one grant, with at least 10% reserved for apprenticeships and 3% for innovation.
- President Trump's latest budget proposes the 'Make America Skilled Again' grant, combining a dozen current programs to provide $3.4 billion in spending, down from $4.65 billion anticipated this fiscal year.
- The Trump administration aims to streamline job training programs and reduce administrative costs, though critics argue the proposal undermines essential workforce development programs at the Labor Department.
- While the proposal requires at least 10% of funds for apprenticeships and 3% for innovations, The National Skills Coalition warns that consolidating programs makes it harder to serve specific populations like youth and Ex-Offenders.
- Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., stated the budget "attacks workers and small businesses," while Marisol Tapia Hopper of the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County noted the proposal worsens budget shortfalls in Washington.
- Earlier this month, the House Education and Workforce Committee, led by Chairman Tim Walberg, R-Mich., proposed a separate blueprint to modernize workforce systems, with The House Appropriations Committee planning related legislation in June.
