Colorado has the 16th highest rate of AI-related job openings nationwide, and the number of AI-specific job postings in Colorado grew 66.5% in July from a year ago.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to welcome the Deputy Secretary of Labor to Colorado\u2019s 8th District as we highlight the cutting-edge work happening right here at Aims Community College,\u201d said Congressman Gabe Evans. \u201cFrom their partnership with Google Gemini to hands-on career training, Aims is preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow. This administration is embracing the future of AI while keeping American workers at the center of innovation. This is what it looks like when education, industry, and government work together to strengthen our economy and outcompete China.\u201d\n\n\u201cSeeing firsthand how Aims Community College is preparing students to succeed in the AI revolution is encouraging, and I\u2019m grateful to Congressman Evans for hosting me,\u201d said Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling. \u201cThe Trump Administration is advancing an AI strategy that puts workers first, and that starts by equipping young people with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving economy. The Department of Labor remains committed to supporting community colleges like Aims to help carry out that mission.\u201d\n\n\u201cAt Aims Community College, we see artificial intelligence not just as a tool, but as a gateway to the future,\u201d said Dr. David Oehler, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Aims. \u201cBy giving students access to cutting-edge technology, Aims is preparing students to thrive in tomorrow\u2019s economy.\u201d\n\nAims Community College has partnered with Google, making Google Gemini an official Generative AI service for its Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence programming. Aims has a clear focus on preparing students to be future-ready through engagement with emerging technologies and focusing on experiential learning, which equips students with hands-on training and the technical skills needed to compete in an increasingly AI-driven economy.\n\nEarlier this month, the Trump Administration unveiled an AI Action Plan to grow American dominance in the AI world by removing burdensome regulations and accelerating innovation. The initiative is a part of a larger ongoing effort by the White House to remove AI guardrails imposed by the previous administration.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://gabeevans.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-evans-and-deputy-secretary-labor-highlight-co-08s-ai-workforce-innovation"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8534728549420834, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
