“Voters in Texas are sending a clear message to policymakers: create more opportunities for workers to access skills training,” said Ashley R. Harris, Director of Public Policy and Advocacy at United Ways of Texas. “These poll results reflect the reality of workers’ lives in Texas, as most jobs in the state already require skills training beyond high school, but not a four-year degree. By funding skills training and ensuring people in these programs have the support they need to finish training programs, we are investing in the future prosperity of our communities and businesses.”
