Career Education Colleges and Universities President & CEO @JasonAltmire on what he calls a "Sputnik moment" for the American workforce:
"We have millions of jobs that can't be filled. The pipeline to those jobs is harmed by the demographics of the country. We're getting older, and not enough people are choosing that profession. We have job displacements driven by AI. So all of this comes together to form a national crisis."
Congratulations, Under Secretary Nicholas Kent on your confirmation!
As Under Secretary, Nicholas will oversee all policies, programs, and activities related to postsecondary education, vocational and adult education, and federal student aid.
Community colleges should lead in promoting career pathways aligned with workforce needs and industry demands.
I enjoyed visiting @ArapahoeCC to see how they’re advancing this model for Colorado students, particularly in space education and aerospace workforce development.

Took a spin in a big rig at @dieseldriving in Baton Rouge last week. I appreciate the tour and all they do to prepare Louisianans for in-demand, high-paying jobs. These folks keep America moving!
Toured Lincoln Tech in New Britain. They help turn dreams of a new career into a reality, particularly when it comes to entering the healthcare industry or electrical and HVAC trades. Their campus has the facilities and instructors that help create more opportunities in CT-05 and across the country.
Had the opportunity to tour @FullSail on their 46th anniversary before being honored with the Icon Award last week.
Great work is being done to prepare students with a hands-on learning experience in entertainment and technology.
