Business Roundtable: A Stronger Workforce for America Act Would Help Build America’s Ever-Ready Workforce

Washington - Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten today released a statement after the House passed A Stronger Workforce for America Act: 

“Business Roundtable applauds the House for approving A Stronger Workforce for America Act on a strong bipartisan basis. By reauthorizing and modernizing the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, this bill would help equip workers with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing economy.
