Labor Leaders Reintroduce Bill to Expand Training Opportunities for Disconnected Youth

"It is our responsibility to ensure that all our nation's young people have the opportunity to thrive--not just survive. The Opening Doors for Youth Act provides youth with a solid foundation of education and early work experience, as well as the skills they need to get on the path toward a good job and rewarding career. Investments made in youth employment programs not only provide youth across the country with their first jobs, but they also help employers build high-quality talent pipelines, and save our communities billions in spending down the road. I look forward to working with my Republican colleagues to ensure this legislation is included in any bipartisan Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act reauthorization."
