Rural communities in Texas are being decimated by a lack of job opportunities because workers lack the skills employers need.
With universal Education Savings Accounts, parents would be able to afford to enroll their kids in programs that teach a trade or provide career and technical training so they can stay and build a career in the rural communities they love.
Our latest video tells several stories of parents who are distraught that their communities don't have enough educational options for their kids. Students can thrive when they are given opportunities to learn a trade and start a career debt free.
