This week, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted the White House Classroom to Career Summit, joined by students, apprentices, K-12 leaders, community college presidents, unions, employers, and philanthropies to highlight the Administration's record progress to train and connect Americans to good-paying jobs. This Summit took place nearly fifteen years after Dr. Biden led the first-ever White House Summit on Community Colleges as Second Lady, where she set the path forward for community colleges to be a critical part of America’s economic vision for the future. Today, 34 states and Washington, D.C., now offer tuition-free community college and job training programs. And at the Summit, President Biden announced that more than $80 billion from his American Rescue Plan has now been committed toward strengthening and expanding our workforce. The Biden-Harris Administration is working to bridge the gap between what students learn and the careers they can enter.
