Today, our Farmers to Families 👩‍🌾 Food Box program will roll out Round 5 adding $1.5 Billion of new funding. Created to fed hungry Americans during the pandemic, F2F has fed over 3.3 Billion families in need nutritious, locally-sourced food fresh from America’s small farms. 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits." -MLK, Jr. #MLKDay

In 2018, we launched the #PledgetoAmericasWorkers and the National Council for the American Worker to reinforce employers both at home and abroad to invest in the training + education of our US workforce.

To date: 460 companies have committed to over 16 million training and career opportunities for American students and workers of all ages.

Since the launch of the council we’ve: ☑️EO to require skills-based hiring+reform hiring efforts in fed gov ☑️EO encouraging states to adopt occupational licensing reforms ☑️Got @BLS_gov JOLTS to expand beyond national survey & better determine job openings+skills data by area

POTUS’s pro-growth policies prioritized access to high-quality workforce training for Americans too long marginalized and left behind.

POTUS has invested more than $800 million for apprenticeships with more than 860,000 NEW apprentices since 2017 + created the Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Program (IRAP) to grow apprenticeships in new and emerging fields. Check out ➡️ apprenticeship.gov

We established a public-private sector workforce policy advisory to rethink how we prepare ALL Americans for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Together, we created a massive ad campaign to increase awareness of the multiple pathways to good-paying jobs.

Prior to the pandemic, POTUS signed into law the largest EVER expansion of childcare funding to states (increased from $2.8 billion to $5.9 billion), eliminating or reducing waitlists in 17 states!

Americans families were prioritized: ☑️ In 2018: Trump Admin doubled the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000! ☑️ By 2019: Nearly 40 million families benefitted (avg benefit received = $2,200!!) + poverty rate fell to lowest in US history
