THE American Trucking Associations (ATA) has pledged to provide 50,000 people enhanced career opportunities as part of a Trump administration plan to provide pathways to better careers for a half a million Americans, reports AJOT. 'ATA is proud to be part of this effort to provide enhanced career opportunities to hard-working Americans. Our nation's economy depends on our trucks moving goods from ports, factories and farms to stores and homes - and we depend on the millions of men and women who drive those trucks, maintain those trucks, load and unload those trucks and route those trucks,' said ATA president and CEO Chris Spear.
'We hope that through this workforce development effort, we will be able to connect more Americans to family-supporting incomes and address the persistent shortage we face in attracting enough well-trained workers to our industry.
'The economy is strong and unemployment is low, but there are critical shortages of skilled workers in sectors of the economy, like truck drivers, technicians and mechanics. We support these efforts to help ensure Americans have the skills and training needed to support the modern economy,' Mr Spear added.
