Rep. Daniel Kagan (D-Cherry Hills) unveiled a proposal on Sunday which would connect job data collected by the Department of Labor to be shared with vocational technical schools and colleges.
"Companies sometimes have a hard time finding well-qualified applicants to fill jobs, and Colorado's well-qualified applicants are having a hard time finding those companies," Kagan said. "This bill seeks to bridge that gap."
Rep. Mark Farrandino (D-Denver) is co-sponsor of a bill, along with Rep. Dave Young (D-Greeley), which would help identify promising new technologies at Colorado universities and research centers, and move those technologies out of the lab and into the market.
Today, House Democrats rolled out their third jobs-growth initiative, one which would reform and streamling Medicaid. These are all part of a package to, as Rep. Mark Farrandino puts it, "focus with laser-like intensity" on job creation.
