Legislative Award Winners Contribute Op-Eds to The Hill

U.S. Representative James Langevin and Representative Glenn “GT” Thompson each wrote op-eds that may be of interest to those in career and workforce development. Both representatives were awarded the 2020 NCDA Legislative Award in July for their work as co-chairs of the Congressional Career and Technical Education (CTE) Caucus and introducing the Counseling for Career Choice Act late last year.

The Thompson op-ed is notable because it specifically calls out the Counseling for Career Choice Act and its importance.
