@sarafischer @AxiosNick @AjaWMoore @MarkWarner @RepAdams @SpelmanCollege .@MarkWarner on the need for federal investment in workforce development: "I think regardless of what we end up with on reconciliation, we're going to have to come back and revisit this workforce development issue in a much, much broader way."

.@SpelmanCollege President Mary Schmidt Campbell: "It's really imperative for those of us who are in the fields of education to think about how we educate for the future. Whatever job exists now could potentially disappear in the next five years."

@sarafischer @AxiosNick @AjaWMoore @MarkWarner @RepAdams @SpelmanCollege Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell: "I think it is a powerful incentive when a company says to its employees as a matter of your employee benefits, just as you're entitled to health care or dental care or vision care, we are also going to provide for you to be upskilled."

@sarafischer @AxiosNick @AjaWMoore @MarkWarner @RepAdams @SpelmanCollege .@RepAdams: "We've got a lot of jobs out here. We don't have people who are prepared and trained to do them. We've got to marry those two so that it's going to help the economy and help us do what we need to do to keep our country going."
