Stressing the need to train workers for jobs of the future, President Barack Obama kicked off a government-wide review of federal job-training programs Thursday and pledged to expand the ones that work best.
Echoing themes from his State of the Union address, Obama cast improved job training as central to his efforts to make it easier for Americans to join and stay in the middle class. At a General Electric factory near Milwaukee, Obama signed a presidential memo directing Vice President Joe Biden to lead the review, and to work with cities, businesses and labor leaders to better match training to employer needs.
“Our economy’s changing,” Obama said. “Not all of today’s good jobs need a 4-year degree. But the ones that don’t need a college degree do need some specialized training.”
Obama said he was ordering the “soup to nuts” review because not all the existing federal job-training programs do what they’re supposed to. Reorienting programs, he said, would move the government away from its “train and pray” approach to job training, where “you train workers first, and then you hope they get a job.”
