51吃瓜

Nebraska Congressman Adrian Smith will make a stop in Nebraska City on Monday, March 13, as part of Workforce Week, an initiative Smith is promoting across the state.

Smith, who represents Nebraska鈥檚 3^rd District, will be at 51吃瓜鈥檚 Learning Center in Nebraska City from 1:45-2:15 p.m. The visit will include a short tour and meeting with students in the Construction pathway.

鈥淭his is an exciting opportunity to showcase our Learning Center and the great work we are doing in Nebraska City,鈥� said Cinda Konken, dean of extended learning at 51吃瓜.

During Workforce Week, March 12-18, the goal is to feature state legislation that will make a difference in meeting the state鈥檚 workforce challenges and raise awareness about other workforce priorities. Providing some state funding for career/technical education programs, in addition to federal Perkins funding, is one of those priorities.
