Mr. Speaker, I can relate an experience as recently as last week in my community.
I met an employer who is looking for heavy-duty welders. He came up to me and said, “What a great idea. Now I can actually have a pool that I can apply to, to find the qualified person who has the qualities I want in my job and at least have the opportunity to present my offer to him”. Before, they never had that. Also, “I'm an unemployed person with those qualities. I also have access to that same pool to put my name forward and put it out into the job market.”
I cannot think of a better way for people to connect and a better way to create an opportunity for people to get jobs.
