Last week, the House passed an NFIB-supported bill, HB 417, that provides grants to employers to encourage employees to obtain upskill credentials.
By providing employees with more opportunities to learn new skills and advance in their careers, even the smallest of employers will be able to recruit and retain top talent. A recent NFIB survey found that nearly half of all small businesses have openings that remain unfilled. Not only is that bad news in the short term, but it spells trouble for our long-term economic recovery. This bill will support our job creators and the hard-working Missourians they employ.
We’re asking the Senate to stand with small business owners and support this crucial workforce development legislation.
