ABC Supports Legislation Encouraging Donations for Workforce Development Programs

On Sept. 11, the U.S. House Committee on Ways & Means held a markup of the ABC-supported H.R. 9461, the USA Workforce Investment Act.

By establishing a new federal tax credit encouraging donations for community-based apprenticeship, career and technical education, workforce development and educational preparedness programs, Rep. Lloyd Smucker’s USA Workforce Investment Act will help address the skilled worker shortage and grow the construction talent pool.
