America's Critical Industries Need a New Talent Strategy
From advanced manufacturing and energy to semiconductors, data centers, infrastructure, and defense, America is investing heavily in the industries that will shape its future. New facilities are being built, production capacity is expanding, and billions of dollars are being directed toward strengthening domestic capabilities across critical sectors.
Creating Pathways to National Security Industries
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the strength of our national security depends on more than military readiness. It also depends on the workforce that supports critical industries, including manufacturing, shipbuilding, energy, defense, and other sectors that power our economy and national defense.
