Workforce training focus of Hill tours

During the Memorial Day break, Arkansas' 2nd District U.S. Rep. French Hill and U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Mich. visited central Arkansas workforce training sites. Lawrence is the founder of Congress' Skilled Workforce Caucus, and Hill is the organization's co-chairman.

The two lawmakers stopped by the John Deere Agriculture Technology program at Arkansas State University-Beebe. They also learned about workforce-training initiatives at Maverick Transportation and Dassault Falcon Jet.
