Today, Congressman Scott Taylor voted in support of H.R. 2842, the Accelerating Individuals Into the Workforce Act of 2017. This legislation connects low-income Americans looking for work with employers looking to fill job openings, including through apprenticeships and other forms of on-the-job training.
"According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 6 million job openings in America right now," said Congressman Taylor. "We know there are over 30 thousand open jobs in Virginia alone. A solution is to provide resources to connect them with businesses looking to hire, train, and develop new employees. Let's get this legislation to the President's desk and get people to work."
