Richard B. Cohen was quoted in Employee Benefit
News' article, "Employers await new workforce
training overhaul." Full text can be found in the July 14,
2014, issue, but a synopsis is below.
Private employers eager to boost their future workforces'
training and education are expected to benefit from the bipartisan
effort in the Senate to stimulate federal job training
efforts.
Richard B. Cohen explains that the effort by Congress is expected
to help educate employees "who were undereducated, who were
not well educated, not sufficiently trained for this century's
jobs and the jobs that are needed by industry."
He continues that "This has long been a plea of the employer
[sector] that we need workers who are literate, who are
technologically proficient and who can work in today's highly
skilled workforce. We've been woefully behind other countries
in that regard, and maybe this is the first step."
