Connecting employers with the employees they need; and employees with the jobs they deserve
This year, we continued our path of ensuring that job seekers had the resources they needed to gain employment with two innovative bills. Under the Employment Advancement Right Now (EARN) Act, the state will work with businesses and our educational system to provide free skills trainings in construction, advanced manufacturing, cyber security, and wellness. This program will be run in partnership with employers so they will help to ensure that we are training people in the most in-demand jobs. In addition, this session we passed legislation to make certain that when our veterans return from overseas, they can use those same skills to find jobs here. Under the Veterans Full Employment Act, the state will help veterans gain job opportunities in Maryland. The legislation will expedite professional licensing for veterans who wish to relocate to Maryland, so they can find jobs sooner. Importantly, the legislation also will credit military veterans with education and trainings to lower the cost of a degree and to help our veterans earn their professional licenses at a quicker pace.
