New Bipartisan Sinema Bill Expands Opportunities at Tribal Colleges
April 5, 2021
Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema introduced the bipartisan IMPACT
Act with Republican Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi. The senators’ legislation creates the Telecommunications Workforce Training Grant Program, allowing tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) to partner with industry stakeholders and apply for grants to educate and train students to participate in good-paying telecommunications jobs of the future.
“We’re expanding opportunities for students from tribal communities to succeed in the jobs of the future while helping bridge the digital divide across Arizona,” says Sinema, a member of the Senate Commerce Committee.
