so all of us need skills. english majors of today need skills. computer skills, graphic skills, so we don't want to diminish the role of liberal education. we want to just make sure that students have a clear understanding of what their choices are going to be when they enter a post-secondary institution and what -- and what they might expect when they exit that institution. another member of our committee who is very well versed in the issues related to work force development and education is congressman walberg from the ate of michigan who has done yeoman's work on many issues related to the work force and education and i yield such time as he may consume to vice chairman -- to subcommittee chairman walberg. mr. walberg: thank you so much, madam chairwoman. ppreciate your emphasis on preparing people for the real world through educational experiences that expand not only their ability bus also their dreams. and a lot of times the best education takes place when a person is dreaming. and i have seen a lot of things happen in michigan as a result

gloria: too many schools believe it is either hard skills or soft skills, and, not or.try to merge liberal arts with a type of business skills that we know they will need from day one and all lifelong learning skill. every job is a vibrant job. you will need a combination of things. you will need technology prowess . you will need to think about a future in which you will constantly have to be upgrading your skill set because the jobs you want today will evaporate. you will need the skills for a new job. i think schools are not fully adapting to the new world. i don't think they are inviting business into schools often enough, working with an on curriculum that used to be a dirty word. you,g businesses work with now it is the point of the realm. caroline: what about students forming their own businesses? many of the top five companies were born this way. [indiscernible] gloria: absolutely. in fact we have classes in entrepreneurship. i am not sure you can teach entrepreneurship. you can read balance sheets and come up with a business plan, but you can teach innovation.

referred to a soft skills. communication, writing, working in teams, things like that. sometimes from businesses you hear we want graduates that are more prepared for specific skills. sometimes you hear we want independent thinkers that can think critically. this debate is playing out in different ways. over the long run, we are to have to find out whether -- which side wins. see liberal arts majors that get soft skills in the long run tend to earn more down the road. host: from bedford, texas. caller: good morning. are you familiar with the national laboratories, oakridge, loss ou -- los alamos. i am a senior citizen. 2 areas, math and science. our country right now was about ready to fall below zimbabwe. anyway, you talk about money for these programs. the problems we are having with kids that start in junior high and high school with math and science is killing our kids. there is huge amounts of money for kids in math and science. oak ridge national laboratory million. hit $30 they could not spend it because

sixifically, there are over million unfilled jobs in this country due to the skills gap.e have a solution to that problem, mr. speaker. and it has come out of the education and work force committee. it's called the prosper act. today, in the hill, there was a terrific article encouraging this body and this congress to pass the prosper act. and i'm going to quote some of the article. the article was entitled "congress passed the prosper act for federal student aid reform." and written by rachel peterson. it has been 5 years since president johnson signed the higher education act into law and 10 years since it was re-authorized since president obama. the law touches every aspect of higher education has turned into a special interest bow nansa and shields colleges from marketplace competition and weaves stupid aid and tax on the pork and served as a pretext for the department of education to have regulations. the prosper act would act.thorize the higher the bill would streamline federal programs, relax burdensome regulations and forbid the secretary of education frling actin

saying the high employment was workers with bouts skills. these workers are never coming back into the labor market. they were wrong. the labor market has steadily improved as aggregate demand has increased. this is a useful lesson, when what is people saying going on now, these terrible outcomes are natural and structural. , there aren mind policy solutions to some of those things. me is thing that worries the same as melissa and some other comments, the decline of unemployment rates. this is a seven decade long problem. it is the case that over the last several decades a lot of it can be blamed by previous labor commands, changes in technology and globalization for workers. --s predates those strands trends. and coming up with a consistent, unified -- has been difficult for economists. structural-term trends show signs of reversing. problematic for economic reasons and also for social it has beenite rising in terms of the business cycle. i am concerned about how little we know about the labor market today. areting government surveys increa

their job is to teach exophoneders a skill. they -- ex-offenders a skill. they teach them a welding skill that is badly needed in northeast ohio rate now. and their placement record is unbelievable and their recidivism is so low. they are not only placing people in jobs and working with businesses, kind of an apprenticeship program, where the workplace is actually working with the welding shops to give people work experience, but the -- but they keep peoplem coming back into the prison system. they got a loan and they also got some grant money from the federal government including from the department of labor. it is one of those programs that is actually working very well to give people the ability to get that job, to get out of that trap -- in this case a lot of them have felony records -- and to be able to take care of their families and be productive citizens. very encouraging stories there. so the skill training we've talked obama the dependency trap we've talked obama the people who are coming out of prison at very high new jersey would end to make sur

get that skill. not that common unless they don't qualify. tan then military tuition assistance really helps set them up for fut tour. typically what you'll find is they want to do something when they leave. early childhood education and we believe that must be because that's something that they choose to do beyond their service. the other thing is we have an a credited associates program in the air force community college of the air force. so very few, if any, enlisted members leave without their associates degree. >> so knowing full well we are going to return 70% of those enlistees after the first enlistment we spend time focusing on that. we want to return back those citizens. so we encourage tuition assistance and gi bill while on active duty to purview some further exception. those enlisted commissioning programs we'll fully endorse. and in our transition courses they are full with job fares and credentialing organizations that will help those marines take the skills they've learned in the mari

once a child understands these vital skills, they will be able to community openly with one another and instill positive feelings of mutual respect compassion and self-esteem. let us teach our children the difference between right right and wrong and encourage them to be best in their individual paths in life. take, for example, christian life. take, for example, christian bachs, a young man from york pennsylvania, who is here with us today. when in second grade, he introduced the buddy bench to address loneliness and help kids build friendships. it helps ensure no student feels lonely. if a child sits on the bench it signals other students to the come over and ask them to play. christian's school and community embraced the buddy bench and today at least one can be found in all 50 states. thank you, christian, for your commitment to kindness. you should be very proud of your work, which is, i know, helped countless children. please stand up.

how do we equip people with the new skills they will need. to some degree its digital skills. i think there is a new generation of challenges for the work force development ports across the country. for companies like microsoft where technology can help people acquire new skills and get connected with jobs. it is just a much bigger issue than it was before. then there is a second issue that i think is getting far too little attention in the country. that's the broadband gap. there's at least 25 million americans that had no access to broadband. you can take anything i've shown and if you don't had access to broadband you're just reading about something that someone else gets to live with. have actually doesn't help improve your life. just as we brought television and telephone service to every person in america ever going to enable everybody to move forward we are going to need to bring broadband to everyone everywhere. and it's good work quire a combination of market innovation and public policy. then there's the big question that you also posed. let's say we make great progr

ultimately connecting them to sector academies and moving them along, developing occupational skills training, technical competent tennessees to earn a wage premium and start to career. we partner with 16 other departments in the city to do this work. also far as oewd work force programming, this slowed shows all of the program areas, amount of funding to those different program areas, and the 16-17 numbers in terms of participants enrolled, what percentage were placed the median and average wages overall. a couple of things to note here. our placements are only counted in they are verified. that mean there is is probably some underreporting in terms of placement percentages. our young adult portfolio and tech assist both have educational programming where an education outcome is the outcome as opposed to unemployment outcome. that also reduces those placement percentages. there is an education pathway connected with both program areas. i think the only other thing i would point out about the slide, this is where we see with in our sector academies that placement rates have held stab
