                        Tuesday, August 10, 2021

  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the opening of the 
Saline County Career Technical Education Center.
  I commend Saline County for uniting to provide overwhelming support 
for this new educational center.
  As the co-chair of the Congressional Skilled Workforce Caucus, I am 
excited to see Saline County invest in skilled workforce education.
  This educational center will teach students skills at a young age, so 
they may receive a head start in the technical field of their choosing. 
This will allow these students to be career ready to enter the 
workforce after graduation.
  The current workforce shortage proves that there is no better time to 
invest in skilled workforce education and America's next generation.
  Thanks to many efforts in Arkansas, including the new Saline County 
Career Technical Education Center, the future looks even brighter. My 
home state of Arkansas will continue to have bright, driven, hard-
working, exceptionally trained, and career ready students.
  The Saline County Career Technical Education Center will serve as a 
new benchmark for Arkansas. I am humbled to witness the start of its 
inspiring future.
