National Security Strategy Investing at Home Break down the line between domestic and foreign policy because strength at home and abroad are linked. Invest to sharpen competitive edge and bolster resilience. Complement innovative power of private sector with modern industrial strategy that makes strategic public investments in workforce, strategic sectors, and supply chains, especially in critical and emerging technologies.
Modern American Industrial Strategy Identifies areas that the private industry, on its own, will not mobilize the investment necessary to achieve core U.S. economic and national security interests. Engages in strategic investment in those areas that will form the backbone of U.S. economic growth over coming decades. Invests in the workers needed to generate productivity gains and innovation.
Executive Order on US Supply Chains The US needs resilient, diverse, and secure supply chains to ensure our economic prosperity and national security. Supply chain assessments of industrial bases for: defense, public health, ICT, energy, transportation, agriculture/food. Each shall include an assessment of current domestic education and manufacturing workforce skills for the relevant sector and identified gaps, opportunities, and potential best practices in meeting the future workforce needs for the relevant sector.
Wind Energy Supply Chain Assessment Expected new workforce demand to serve the Administration s goals in the hundreds of thousands. Additional education and training programs are necessary from several hundred to more than 1,000. Re-training workers for offshore wind facilities, construction and servicing is critical. Cooperation between wind energy component manufacturers, wind developers, community colleges, and labor unions can address key educational and training requirements for the wind industry.
ICT Supply Chain Assessment Underinvestment in the domestic ICT workforce and in domestic STEM education threatens the industry s ability to find to fulfill increased demand for key ICT products. To develop and upskill ICT workforce, Commerce Secretary is: Allocating over $500M for ICT skills training systems and programs and STEM workforce development initiatives Encouraging states to develop and fund broadband workforce investment programs through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program funded in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
