Trump plans to encourage training for qualified professions
President Donald Trump may sign an order to improve vocational training for qualified professions, an initiative combined with myth in his move to revive production in the United States, shows a summary of the White House seen by Reuters.
Ministries of Labor, Education and Trade will focus on the needs of working in emerging industries, including those maintained by artificial intelligence, in order to support over 1 million apprenticeships annually according to the summary.
President Republican, who took office in January, shocked the markets with sudden duties on imports, some of which are now stopped in anticipation of negotiations with US commercial partners.
How did investors and markets react to the new US duties
Trump encourages duties on imports as a solution to a wide range of problems, including decades of workpiece in the US factories. Some of its economic advisers blame for this trend for industries that move factories abroad, where workers receive lower salaries, thus shrinking the opportunities for a high-paying career for Americans without higher education.
Duties can lead to greater demand for goods produced in America. But any expected revival of US plants would face several obstacles, including a shortage of qualified workers. The United States has been training much fewer factory workers for decades, while retirement and immigration repression exhaust the workforce reserve available for manufacturers.
The executive order aims to divert US agencies from the huge support for professional activities for which colleges and universities prepare workers, and to support qualified professions such as electricians, drivers and nurses assistants.
There are duties, no duties – 18 hours in which Trump is almost 180 degrees
« After years of displacement of Americans through an economically unproductive system after secondary education, President Trump will redirect young Americans to career preparation, » the summary said.
Reuters has not reviewed the text of the order, which is still subject to final approval by Trump. It was not known how much money would be allocated for the plan, but the goal was to « identify ways to maximize existing resources » and redirect « funds away from ineffective programs » according to a person familiar with the plans.
Trump won 56% of the university -free voters throughout the country during the 2024 presidential election, exitropols showed at the time, with 13 points in front of Democrat Kamala Harris and 6 points more than his performance in 2020.
The President of the United States has won the support of the unions and the voters of the working class, a long -groomed stone for the support of the Democrats. He has often criticized the elite universities in the country, threatening to deprive them of their financing for research and tax breaks, and accusing several of being covered by anti -Semitic, anti -American, Marxist and « radical left » ideologies.
