The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce supports the Securing Our Children’s Future ballot question this November, and urges New Jersey citizens to vote “Yes” on Public Question #1 on Election Day, Nov. 6.

This initiative represents a wise investment in New Jersey’s future by providing much-needed expansion of technical education at vo-tech schools and county colleges. Further, it will invest in school security and modernizing school infrastructure. Ultimately, it will foster the development of our future workforce.

We all recognize that New Jersey’s workforce is one our state’s greatest economic assets and that we need to do all we can to ensure that our students represent the best trained and most highly qualified workforce possible.

This not only keeps New Jersey competitive but it opens the doors of economic opportunity to more of our citizens.
