WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, June 26, Gov. Kim Reynolds and members of President Trump’s American Workforce Advisory Board discussed how America’s recovery from COVID19 will be driven by upskilling and reskilling the American worker.

“Iowa is a proven blueprint for expanding opportunities through work based learning, registered apprenticeships, and skill-based hiring,” said Gov. Reynolds. “So while COVID19 forced all of us to reimagine how our workforce functions, there’s a path forward. Today’s conversations centered around cutting-edge job training, education, and investing in digital infrastructure to ensure the American people are coming back to the workforce poised for even greater success than ever before.”

The sixth meeting was held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, 1650 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20502 from 1:00 p.m. to approximately 3:00 p.m. (EDT).  Among many others apparently in attendance were President Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Larry Kudlow, Betsy DeVos, and Steve Mnuchin.

Gov. Reynolds talked about how Iowa is getting back to work and how the President’s Executive Order on skills-based hiring can be amplified in all 50 states. Governor Reynolds specifically mentioned her own economic recovery advisory board, which held its first meeting yesterday in part to discuss modernizing Ioiwa’s economy in the wake of COVID19.

“You identified barriers and gaps and brought the right people together… Thank you for leading,” Governor Kim Reynolds fawned to the Donald. “It’s been an honor to be a part of this advisory board.”

“Next year is gonna be amazing,” the Donald responded.

“I agree,” Governor Kim Reynolds responded.

The American Workforce Advisory Board is chaired by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump. Gov. Reynolds serves on two subcommittees on the Workforce Advisory Board: a subcommittee to Develop a Campaign to Promote Multiple Pathways to Career Success, chaired by Apple CEO Tim Cook and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, and a subcommittee to Modernize Candidate Recruitment and Training Practices.

This was the agenda for the meeting:
