Education for Jobs Act

Statement

Today I introduced the Education for Jobs Act (H.R. 4832) as part of the Make It In America jobs plan. This bill would reduce the job skills gap by expanding the federal student loan program to include students that are enrolled in a degree or certificate program, are carrying at least 3 credit hours and have worked full time for more than 3 years.
All too often a middle class job does not support a middle class life anymore. Our goal is to fix that fundamental problem by making sure there are enough well-paying jobs and that Americans have the skills necessary to obtain those jobs. My bill would allow working professionals who are trying to update their skill set or improve their career path to now be eligible to apply for federal student loans.
