In today's thriving economy, now is the time to ensure that
all our youth have the opportunity to share in our nation's prosperity.
Employers need skilled workers, and we have an untapped pool of youth who could
be filling these jobs. We must do everything we can to educate and train them
for 21st Century jobs. Our challenge is to turn pools of potential into oceans
of opportunity.
President Clinton's proposed increases in funding for Youth
Opportunity grants and the Job Corps are bold and necessary steps toward
achieving this goal and closing the skills gap.
The President's investments in education and training have
already turned around thousands of young lives. With this additional
investment, we can provide hope to more young people across our nation, making
sure that young people from rural areas have a real chance and that youth from
the inner city are in the inner circle of opportunity.
