- Small Business Development Centers and Women’s Business Centers would provide information to business owners about how to use technical education programs to fill their open jobs.
- The plan also works the other way by teaching trade school students how to use federal resources to start their own small businesses or grow existing ones.
- By creating these connections, the policy aims to help small businesses find skilled workers while helping graduates of technical programs find stable career opportunities in their communities.
