President Joe Biden released his American Jobs Plan Wednesday which includes improvements in the country’s infrastructure but also includes a commitment to racial equity.
Biden’s plan will invest $100 million in workforce development programs aimed specifically at underserved communities. These programs will put students on a career path before they leave high school.
The plan will help trainees compete for in-demand jobs including income support, counseling, and case management to pair with high-quality training and partnerships between educational institutions, unions, and employers.
Internet infrastructure is also on the agenda. Black and Latino families are less likely to be able to access home broadband internet than white families. That divide has only grown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
