Illinois Senate committee approves bill allowing workplace readiness week for high schools – WAND (Decatur)

The "workplace readiness week" would include information about local, state, and federal laws and how the labor movement played a role in winning protections and benefits for workers. Students would also receive information about state-approved apprenticeship programs and alternative career paths.

Sorry-Off Topic but Illinois just gave more-much more incentives to Rivian probably from taxpayers.

When I was in college I had a professor that said if you learn to read you’ll take orders, if you learn to write you’ll give orders. This sounds like a class in learning how to take orders.

I can’t help but think this “workplace readiness week” will contain no info whatsoever about how all these “workers rights” make it very difficult to run a business in Illinois.

I do like it that they provide info on apprenticeship programs and alternative career paths.
