State Leaders took the "3 P’s" to the Hill at The Workforce Alliance’s annual Summit held February 23-25, in Washington, DC. Business leaders, unions, educators and public officials from 26 states called on federal officials to embrace a three-part skills strategy for the nation. State coalitions met with over 150 Members of Congress and the U.S. Department of Labor to call on leaders to embrace a 21st-century vision and strategy for investing in middle-skills as a core component of the nation’s economic strategy.
Other participants in the panel at which Dedrick spoke included Bruce Herman, New York Deputy Commissioner for Workforce Development, and Steve Ovel, Governmental Relations, Kirkwood Community College, Iowa.
