Dive Brief:
- A bipartisan group of senators has reintroduced federal legislation that supports workforce training at two-year institutions and that they hope to roll into a Higher Education Act reauthorization.
- Sens. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Todd Young, R-Ind., Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Cory Gardner, R-Colo., announced their support for the Gateway to Careers Act, which would give grants to community and technical colleges and other industry and community organizations to help improve educational pathways for in-demand jobs.
- The act also would provide supports for students who struggle with issues that impact their ability to succeed in the workforce, such as substance abuse, mental health concerns, health insurance instability, and access to food, housing, child care and transportation.
