❌ HB98
Establish the Community Connectors Workforce Program
Summary
The bill establishes the Community Connectors Workforce Program, which connects students to jobs, internships, and career professionals. The program is overseen by the Department of Education and Workforce, with educational service centers administering it. Directors employed by these centers will provide career mentoring, assess student eligibility, and offer training in soft and professional skills.
Rationale
The bill increases government involvement in education and workforce development, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government interference in personal and economic matters. It mandates the creation of positions and oversight by government entities, which is contrary to the Libertarian emphasis on free markets and individual choice.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over education and workforce programs
- Potential for inefficiencies and bureaucratic expansion
- Limits on private sector involvement in job placement
