Ivanka Trump announces a new White House initiative
“The assembly line, energy plant and retail store have changed dramatically in the past 25 years—and the jobs have, too,” Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump writes in The Wall Street Journal. “Nearly 1 in 5 working Americans has a job that didn’t exist in 1980 . . . Such rapid change is one reason 6.6 million U.S. jobs are currently unfilled.”
On President Trump’s watch, the U.S. economy is adding tons of jobs—about 3 million since Inauguration Day 2017, to be exact. Many of these jobs require reskilling workers.
In the past, that hasn’t happened. “For too long, both the public and the private sectors have failed to develop innovative and effective training programs,” Ms. Trump writes. But a new Executive Order from President Trump tomorrow will help change that. In partnership with a growing list of companies and organizations, the White House’s latest initiative will set the stage for developing a National strategy for training and retraining American workers.
