The President\u2019s proposal also calls for the creation of an American Job Center network to unify all Federally-supported One-Stop Career Centers and electronic resources.\u00a0 Currently, names for these nearly 3,000 federally funded employment centers vary widely from state to state, or even from town to town, and electronic tools are spread across many disconnected websites.\u00a0 As a result, jobseekers often do not understand what employment and training resources are available, or where to go to for additional help. Businesses that are well-connected to the workforce system in one state are too often unaware that the same services are available to them elsewhere, under a different name. Workers and businesses should have an easily-identifiable source for the help and services our workforce system provides.\u00a0 The President\u2019s Budget proposes a $50 million investment to improve and expand these workforce centers, and the President will launch part of this effort through executive authority.<\/p>\n
These proposals build on the President\u2019s commitment to creating an economy that\u2019s built to last by training workers in skills that lead directly to high-quality jobs.\u00a0 Last month, the President announced a new Community College to Career Fund to help forge new partnerships between community colleges and businesses to train 2 million workers for jobs in high-growth and high-demand industries.\u00a0\u00a0 The President will continue to take every measure to build an economy where everyone has opportunities to advance, hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded.<\/p>\n
