"To prepare our next generation of American workers, the Trump Administration is taking decisive action to streamline unnecessary bureaucracy and advance the skills needed to fill jobs of the future,"
"confident that the Department of Labor is well positioned to cooperatively administer, implement, and streamline these critical career and adult education programs."
"Donald Trump and Linda McMahon are continuing their attempts to illegally dismantle the Department of Education-and they are risking critical career and technical and adult education programs,"
The administration created an integrated 'state plan portal' to allow the Department of Labor to jointly administer adult education programs with the Education Department. The portal will execute key programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Funding and staff historically managed by the Education Department will be transferred to the Department of Labor. Officials say the move will position Labor as the centralized hub for federal workforce programs and streamline bureaucracy to advance worker skills. An executive order directed the closure of the Education Department to the maximum extent permitted by law, and leadership subsequently laid off nearly half the staff. Advocates warn the transfer could diminish program quality and accelerate department dissolution.
