Get more of federal $23B for job training for Oregon

The proposed nationwide budget for fiscal year 2005 includes $23 billion for job training and employment assistance and more than $500 million to help prepare U.S. workers to take advantage of higher paying jobs requiring better skills. It also includes $250 million in proposed funding targeted to community colleges to train workers for healthy and growing industries and $33 million for expanded Pell Grants for low-income students who complete rigorous coursework in high school. Currently, Oregon receives a smaller per capita amount of those federal funds than most states. Bruce Broussard will work to increase the percentage of those funds that go to develop the Oregon economy, job market, and employability of Oregonians.
