Across the country, companies are investing in workforce development. Through America’s Workforce Academy, @Meta is expanding access to training at no cost that will strengthen the skilled trades talent pipeline and connect more Americans to opportunity in high-demand careers.

We’re launching America’s Workforce Academy (AWA): a nationwide, unprecedented fast-track to a long-term career in a skilled trade, powered by an initial $115 million first year investment. Including a large-scale skilled trades training program, there is zero cost to the trainees and guarantees a job offer through one of our contractor partners at a @meta data center site.

USMCA is a proven engine for American manufacturing and U.S. competitiveness. As @ShopFloorNAM’s new report makes clear, extending the trilateral agreement is essential to supporting U.S. jobs, investment and integrated supply chains.

2 million American jobs. 15 of 18 manufacturing sectors exporting more. Billions in new U.S. investment.
Our new report—"Built to Spec"— shows the USMCA is a proven engine for manufacturing in America. As @JayTimmonsNAM says, it's time to preserve it, strengthen it and lead with it.
