Arguments
Innovate at the state level. States are better equipped than the Washington bureaucracy to invest effectively in local workforce needs. Jobs training dollars should be block granted back to states like New Jersey with leaders committed to putting people back to work.

Some states, including Florida, Massachusetts, Maine and Mississippi are already working to use a more job-friendly training model in relation to manufacturing jobs. We should cut the strings attached to the training dollars and allow states to use the money in whatever way works best for their citizens.
