Today, Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC) spoke on the House Floor to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week and the importance of these programs.
Below are key excerpts from Rep. Foxx’s remarks (as prepared for delivery):
“In recent years, more and more Americans have found that apprenticeship programs are an effective option to help achieve their career goals.
“These earn-and-learn programs offer students and workers a viable path toward the American Dream…
“However, the Biden administration is proposing to end the program dedicated to expanding apprenticeships, cutting off this important pathway to sustainable and rewarding careers.
“This decision moves our country backward and will keep many Americans from being able to prepare for their future.
“The American worker is always going to take a backseat in President Biden’s America."
