And we\u2019re creating millions of jobs in growing industries like clean energy and manufacturing,&#8221; the first lady will say, according to her prepared remarks. &#8220;This work pays well and often doesn\u2019t require four years of college. And we\u2019re connecting people to those jobs. We\u2019re bringing together our entire government \u2014 along with incredible allies like all of you \u2014 to bridge the gap between learning and earning. That\u2019s the Biden education pathway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            Senior administration officials say the cities hosting the new hubs \u2014 Phoenix, Arizona; Columbus, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Augusta, Georgia \u2014 were chosen because of their emerging industry in the surrounding region and clear desire to work with the administration in receiving federal funds outlined in Biden&#8217;s legislative victories.<\/p>\n<p>            &#8220;These are places where there are both great opportunities to do these workforce development things,&#8221; one official told the Washington Examiner. &#8220;In many ways, the cities have also been working on innovative efforts themselves, which in our engagement, that sort of express interest in accelerating what we&#8217;re building out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            The administration would not attach &#8220;specific dollar amounts&#8221; to the hubs themselves but reassured reporters the centers would receive federal assistance in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n<p>            The manufacturing workforce sprint will see the administration work directly with private companies and unions to expand apprenticeships and other certification programs necessary for advanced manufacturing jobs and will specifically seek to expand those workforces in &#8220;underrepresented communities.&#8221; The administration has already launched similar collaborative programs with companies in trucking, cybersecurity, and other fields.<\/p>\n<p>            Finally, the &#8220;Good Jobs, Great Cities Academy&#8221; will seek to help cities &#8220;spur innovative and scalable city-led solutions that upskill and reskill all workers \u2014 including those who have too often been left behind \u2014 into quality, high-demand jobs in infrastructure, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            The 15 cities new cities joining the administration&#8217;s academy include: <\/p>\n<p>                         Birmingham, Alabama             Chattanooga, Tennessee             Duluth, Minnesota             Fort Lauderdale, Florida             Frederick, Maryland             Jamestown, New York             Kokomo, Indiana             Lansing, Michigan             Missoula, Montana             Monroe, North Carolina             Newark, New Jersey             San Antonio, Texas             Santa Fe, New Mexico             St. Louis, Missouri             Tempe, Arizona                        A number of industry stakeholders have indicated that the workforce, currently operating at historically low levels of unemployment, could prevent the country from reaching Biden&#8217;s industrial goals.<\/p>\n<p>            In particular, mining industry executives have seen their workforce shrink by more than 20% over the past decade, with associated mining degrees falling near 40% since 2016 and half of all skilled engineers reaching retirement age by 2033.<\/p>\n<p>                        Senior administration officials, however, stressed that the announcement of these new programs was not specifically spurred by concerns raised by any private sector stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>            CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/p>\n<p>            &#8220;The administration has continuously engaged with state and local officials, employers, unions, community colleges, high schools, and other stakeholders who are doing innovative work here and have expressed interest in different ways to accelerate workforce development opportunities so that we can make sure that there are a wide array of individuals who can take advantage of the number of job opportunities being created by the Investing in America agendas,&#8221; one senior administration official told the Washington Examiner. &#8220;They are pathways to a career that you can raise a family on if you have the training and skills you need.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden administration is announcing three new workforce initiatives on Tuesday, all aimed at supplementing emerging industries critical to President Joe Biden&#8217;s green agenda.
