SHRM Advocacy Alert: Urge Congress to Strengthen the Education-to-Employment Pipeline
SHRM urges you to contact your members of Congress to encourage them to take critical steps toward strengthening the education-to-employment pipeline. Visit SHRM’s Advocacy Action Center today to take action.
The U.S. is facing a critical talent gap, and now is the time for HR professionals to make their voices heard. As an HR leader, you know that building a strong workforce starts with ensuring workers have access to education, training, and upskilling opportunities that align with employer needs.
SHRM is calling on Congress to advance bipartisan workforce policies that modernize skills training, expand access to education, and strengthen the talent pipeline. With your help, we can ensure that workforce policies reflect today’s labor market realities.
By participating in this advocacy activation, you’ll urge your members of Congress to:
- Reauthorize the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
- Support the Bipartisan Workforce Pell Act.
- Advance skills-based hiring policies.
Your voice matters. Take action today to advocate for policies that will strengthen our workforce, support job creation, and drive economic competitiveness.
SHRM has developed a social media toolkit featuring sample posts and key messaging to help you effectively engage your network. Access the toolkit to amplify the conversation and convey the importance of strengthening and supporting the education-to-employment pipeline.
