UnEmployment Smart: Legislation to create community jobs for College tuition credits
TheBluePrintforJustice proposes an increase (that's right an investment) funding to create new volunteer programs focused on building the communities, such as making them cleaner, providing safety details, volunteer, fire and police, community parks and recreation, healthcare: prevention, and so on... the bill would
- Establish a Rebuild American Workers program for those unemployed over one year. A person would earn 1 year of tuition credits redeemable at any institution for courses focused on management or leadership positions in non-profit organizations. There would be a maximum of 3% of the current unemployment rate persons eligible;
- Allow non-profit organizations who hire these individuals to receive 15% of their employer taxes back as an "America Works Again" grant, 2 years from the date of employment of those who graduate from said particular college programs;
- Create Scholarships that would provide the unemployed with opportunities to enhance their skills in mathematics, and sciences based on a minimum of 450 volunteer hours a year. The scholarship is transferable to their spouses or children between the age of 18-25.
