US President Donald Trump along with 23 companies and professional
associations have signed a commitment to train 3.8 million unemployed
American workers.
"In the days and months ahead, we hope that
hundreds of companies and organisations will join us in this effort,"
Efe news quoted Trump as saying on Thursday.
Among the companies
and organisations signing the pledge are Fed-Ex, which has vowed to
train 5,12,000 workers; General Motors, 10,975; Microsoft, 10,000; The
Home Depot, 50,000; IBM, 1,00,000 and Lockheed Martin, 8,000.
For
its part, the American Trucking Association promised to offer
vocational training to 50,000 people, the Associated Builders and
Contractors to 5,00,000 and the National Restaurant Association will
provide for 3,70,000.
Representatives of companies and professional associations attended the signing of the pledge in the White House.
Trump
also signed an executive order to create the Council for American
Workers so that "students and workers have access to affordable,
relevant, and innovative education and job training".
The Council
will be made up of public officials, but Trump said that in the coming
weeks he will also establish an external board comprising
representatives from the private sector that will work together with the
Council.
