On Friday, Congressman John Moolenaar reintroduced the Training Assignments for Student Knowledge (TASK) Act.

His legislation would ensure vocational school can continue to provide high-quality education and job training for their students. Recently, legal efforts attempted to expand the definition of an employee to include these students. This would significantly increase the cost of vocational education, and make it more difficult for schools to provide job training programs. 

"Students deserve access to an affordable alternative to a college education, which provides quality job training. This training is vital for them to gain the skills required to get a good-paying job after school. Vocational schools provide this opportunity and it is crucial these courses remain available to students in Michigan. My TASK Act will help make sure essential educational instruction programs remain affordable and available to students in Michigan and across the country," said Moolenaar. 

Moolenaar introduced the TASK act in the 117th and 118th Congress. The text of his legislation can be found here.
