Asistieron muchos otros senadores y representantes estatales, entre ellos el patrocinador del proyecto de ley, el senador Clint Dixon, el presidente de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes, Jon Burns, y el presidente del Comit\u00e9 de Educaci\u00f3n Superior, Max Burns.<\/p>\n<p>El SB 180 es el primer proyecto de ley que presenta el IEC, y la legislatura lo ha elogiado. Permite a los promotores de aprendizaje registrados en el Departamento de Trabajo de EE.UU. solicitar subvenciones. Anteriormente, s\u00f3lo los empresarios pod\u00edan solicitar financiaci\u00f3n del Estado.  El Sistema de Colegios T\u00e9cnicos de Georgia administra la financiaci\u00f3n, al igual que toda la financiaci\u00f3n de la mano de obra.  El SB 180 fue uno de los tres proyectos de ley firmados en la ceremonia que apoyan la formaci\u00f3n de la mano de obra.<\/p>\n<p>\"Como el estado No.-1 para los negocios, Georgia ha visto un r\u00e9cord de empleos e inversiones llegar a las comunidades en cada parte del estado\", dijo Kemp. \"Con los proyectos de ley que he firmado hoy, estamos dando nuevos pasos para preparar a los georgianos a entrar por esas puertas abiertas\".<\/p>\n<p>Dawson expres\u00f3 que presentar, encabezar, conseguir la firma de este proyecto de ley y estar presente en la firma son algunos de los puntos culminantes de su carrera.  El siguiente paso es trabajar con el poder legislativo y el Sistema de Escuelas T\u00e9cnicas Superiores de Georgia para aumentar la financiaci\u00f3n del Programa de Aprendizaje de Alta Exigencia.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2025 El CEI consigue que se firme el proyecto de ley SB 180<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12986,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[212,115,214,78,205,157,213],"class_list":["post-12983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-advocacy","tag-atlanta","tag-government","tag-iec","tag-independent-electrical-contractors","tag-mahsa-poorak","tag-sb-180-bill","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Electrical Industry History Made!
