Free tuition for medical students if they remain in New York

Beyond salary, we will make it easier for doctors and nurses from other States to practice with their existing licenses here in New York. We'll expand the capacity of our medical institutions so more students can train for high-demand healthcare jobs, and we'll make it possible for them to get that training with free tuition and stipends if they remain here after they graduate.

Make state schools tuition-free for middle-class families

In the age of advanced technology, access to higher education has become increasingly more difficult. With the belief that education is a human right, Kathy and the Governor fought hard to make SUNY and CUNY schools tuition-free for every middle-class family.

Partnerships between employers and educational institutions

Following a School-to-Work roundtable, Congresswoman Kathy Hochul today announced her plan to introduce the Workforce-Ready Educate America Act, which partners local employers with educational institutions in an effort to create a job-ready workforce.

Said Congresswoman Hochul, "If we create a partnership between our local businesses and our local schools, we can provide our students with the sufficient skills to meet the needs of these fast-growing industries, while keeping a trained workforce right here in Western New York."

Hochul's legislation would incentivize partnerships between employers and educational institutions by providing local businesses with a tax credit of $1,000 for each student participating in a qualified technical training and skills partnering program.

Hochul will next convene a roundtable of local schools and potential industry partners to discuss the next steps in building a stronger relationship between educational institutions and local employers.
