Workforce Skills

The workforce training and education systems do not sufficiently provide learning opportunities to produce graduates with basic skills and future career advancement. This contributes to the 20% illiteracy rate among the American labor force. California’s .5% training tax is not proportionatly distributed to small business, thus creating greater burdens on small business owners to train their employees in order to meet today’s competitive standards.
