Congressman Mullin has a long history of working on workforce development issues, first as a member of the San Mateo County Workforce Investment Board (WIB) and previously as the Speaker of the Assembly’s representative on the California Workforce Development Board. Any federal workforce development program requires bottom-up, holistic considerations including mental health, skills training, community building, and housing and transportation.

 

In Congress, Kevin will advocate for expansion of the Workforce Opportunity and Investment Act to help workers transition from heavy industries to a more tech-focused, clean energy economy. He will also be a vocal advocate for apprenticeship programs in the building trades and other industries.
