“In 2019, Opportunity America made its voice heard on a number of legislative issues relating to career education: pending reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, expanding Pell Grant funding to pay for short job-focused college programs, industry-driven apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship. In July, Opportunity America held two Capitol Hill briefings for congressional staffers highlighting the findings a study of short, job-focused education and training programs offered by community colleges in partnership with employers. Earlier in the year, the organization partnered with the American Enterprise Institute to hold a lunch briefing for congressional staffers highlighting the findings of a study of policy solutions for the working class. The nonprofit also manages the Opportunity America Jobs and Careers Coalition, a group of employers and employer associations working to improve policy on workforce issues. Its core goals: amplifying the employer voice on career education and promoting skills agenda on Capitol Hill. Its legislative agenda overlaps closely with that of Opportunity America.”
