Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman John Moolenaar, a Member of Congress representing Michigan, announced the introduction of the Training Assignments for Student Knowledge (TASK) Act. This crucial legislation aims to ensure that vocational schools can continue offering high-quality job training programs to students across the country.
In recent times, there have been legal efforts to redefine the status of vocational students as employees, potentially increasing the costs associated with vocational education and jeopardizing the availability of job training courses.
"Vocational education provides students with affordable alternatives to college and allows them to gain the skills they need for good-paying jobs. It is vital that these courses remain available for students, and the TASK Act would ensure this essential instruction remains affordable for students in Michigan and across the country," expressed Congressman John Moolenaar.
The TASK Act, previously introduced by Congressman Moolenaar in 2022, seeks to safeguard the affordability and accessibility of vocational education programs. By doing so, it would enable students to acquire the necessary skills for well-paying jobs without being burdened by exorbitant costs.
