Su testimonio destac\u00f3 las inversiones que los miembros y los contratistas est\u00e1n realizando para formar trabajadores calificados y la importancia de que el estado contin\u00fae apoyando estos programas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La audiencia conjunta sobre el presupuesto abord\u00f3 la solicitud presupuestaria de la Comisi\u00f3n de Empleo de Texas para el per\u00edodo 2028-29 y fue llevada a cabo por personal del Consejo Legislativo de Presupuesto y la Oficina del Gobernador. Smith habl\u00f3 en su calidad de presidenta del Consejo de Comercio de la Construcci\u00f3n de Texas Occidental y como miembro del Comit\u00e9 Local 49 de SMART JATC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El tema en cuesti\u00f3n es el cap\u00edtulo 133, un programa estatal que reembolsa una parte de los costos de la ense\u00f1anza en clase a los aprendices registrados que tambi\u00e9n reciben formaci\u00f3n remunerada en el lugar de trabajo. En agosto, la Comisi\u00f3n vot\u00f3 por reducir la solicitud del cap\u00edtulo 133 en $3,7 millones en lugar de seguir la recomendaci\u00f3n de su personal. Ese financiamiento ayuda a que los programas de aprendizaje proporcionen la formaci\u00f3n que los trabajadores necesitan para desarrollar sus habilidades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smart Local 49 representa a los trabajadores de la chapa met\u00e1lica de todo Nuevo M\u00e9xico y el oeste de Texas. Su programa JATC combina la ense\u00f1anza en el aula con la experiencia laboral remunerada, preparando a los aprendices para carreras en la industria de la chapa met\u00e1lica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith se uni\u00f3 a l\u00edderes sindicales de todo Texas para pedir al personal de presupuesto que proteja el programa JET, vuelva a la recomendaci\u00f3n del personal de la Comisi\u00f3n y restablezca la solicitud completa de $21,5 millones de acuerdo con el Cap\u00edtulo 133. La Secci\u00f3n Local 49 agradece a los l\u00edderes que presentaron las necesidades de sus programas ante el estado y se unieron en apoyo de la formaci\u00f3n en aprendizaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEl oeste de Texas est\u00e1 creciendo, y nuestros programas de aprendizaje tambi\u00e9n lo est\u00e1n\u201d, dijo Smith. \u201cNuestros contratistas y miembros han invertido su propio dinero para formar a la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n aqu\u00ed en casa. Estamos pidiendo al estado que siga siendo nuestro socio\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith se\u00f1al\u00f3 un crecimiento significativo en los programas de formaci\u00f3n profesional en el oeste de Texas. La secci\u00f3n local 602 de la IBEW ha crecido de 152 aprendices a m\u00e1s de 500, la secci\u00f3n local 404 de la UA de unas 250 a unas 600, y la secci\u00f3n de carpinteros de 60 a casi 300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La JATC de Local 49 ha invertido m\u00e1s de $1,3 millones en su nuevo centro de formaci\u00f3n en Lubbock. La matr\u00edcula en West Texas se ha duplicado en m\u00e1s de un 52%, y el programa prev\u00e9 m\u00e1s de 100 plazas para finales de 2027, a medida que se expande hacia servicios de HVAC, pruebas y balanceo y control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estas inversiones construyen la capacidad de formaci\u00f3n y crean m\u00e1s oportunidades cerca de casa. El apoyo continuo del estado ayudar\u00e1 a que los programas de aprendizaje sigan al ritmo de la demanda laboral y prepare a los trabajadores cualificados que necesita el oeste de Texas para su pr\u00f3xima etapa de crecimiento.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shawn Smith, de SMART Local 49, aboga por financiar programas de aprendizaje para proteger las oportunidades de formaci\u00f3n en el oeste de Texas.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
