Worker Training

Congressman Jim Himes and Alastair Fitzpayne, Executive Director of the Future of Work Initiative, authored an op-ed in TechCrunch about ways to prepare American workers with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing economy.

As we continue to see changes in the nature of work, policymakers should develop policies to ensure that American workers are prepared for the 21st century economy. A recent report from the New Democrat Coalition Future of Work Task Force highlights a number of proposals that could help.

The Investing in American Workers Act, introduced by Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, would establish a tax credit for new investments in worker training made by small and mid-sized business.
