“The number one concern I hear about from innovative businesses like GE Aviation is their struggle to recruit enough highly skilled workers,” Senator Hassan said. “I am focused on ensuring that 21st century businesses have the workforce that they need to thrive, including by reintroducing the Gateway to Careers Act, which would help to strengthen workforce development and career pathway programs across the Granite State.”
Senator Hassan will reintroduce the Gateway to Careers Act, which supports career pathways strategies that combine work, education, and support services to help individuals earn industry-recognized credentials and help ensure that businesses have the workforce they need to succeed in the 21st century innovation economy.
