6.1: Retraining
Retraining Workers Other Information:
Mitt Romney will approach retraining policy with a conservative mindset that recognizes it as an area where the federal government
is particularly ill-equipped to succeed. Retraining efforts must be founded upon a partnership that brings together the states
and the private sector. The sprawling federal network of redundant bureaucracies should be dismantled and the funds used for
better purposes. One particularly promising approach that Romney supports and believes states should be encouraged to pursue
is a system of Personal Reemployment Accounts for unemployed individuals. These accounts would facilitate programs that place
individuals directly into companies that provide on-the-job training—as governor of Massachusetts, Romney helped create just
such a program.
