HARDI Responds to President Trump Signing CTE Bill
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) Vice President of Government Affairs Palmer Schoening released the following statement in regard to President Donald Trump signing the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (CTE).
"The issue of recruiting the next generation into the skilled trades is one of the biggest challenges facing our industry today," he said. "Not only does this legislation take an important step towards alleviating the labor shortage in the trades, but it also promotes more training and certification for technicians. HARDI applauds the president and Congress for their bipartisan efforts in keeping grants for CTE education in place by reauthorizing the Perkins Act through the passage and signing of the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act."
