senate 07/16/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to establish a national program that helps mid-career workers reenter the STEM workforce by funding small- and medium-sized businesses to offer paid internships and returnships leading to advanced, well-compensated positions. This aims to expand opportunities, especially for skilled workers from rural areas, and support career growth beyond entry level.

More government grants to ‘fix’ the workforce? How about letting the free market decide who gets hired instead of taxpayer money?

Finally, a bill that puts real muscle behind retraining our workers instead of corporate tax breaks. Mid-career folks deserve a second shot, not a second-class job.

Handing out cash to small businesses for internships sounds like a bureaucrat's way of playing career counselor with our tax dollars.

Investing in people, not just profits—that’s how you reboot the American Dream in STEM. Because experience shouldn’t get benched after 40.

It's a nice idea on paper: paid internships for experienced workers. Now let’s watch if it actually leads to lasting jobs, not just paper promises.

Supporting mid-career transitions in STEM could be a win-win, but only if small businesses don't drown in red tape while chasing these grants.

Paid returnships? About time Congress treated skills and dignity as essential, not optional perks for the privileged.

Bridging gaps between skilled workers and jobs sounds like common sense — if we can keep bureaucracy lean, this might just fly.

If you want STEM workers, create jobs, not cushy returnships funded by handouts—this bill is just another token band-aid.
