Rep. Jackie Walorski (IN-02) announced this week's honoree for her Who's Who in IN-02' initiative. During a speech on the House floor, Walorski paid tribute to Starke County Initiative for Lifelong Learning (SCILL) Director Ron Gifford for his dedication to creating and nurturing a trained workforce for the growing industrial base in Starke County.\nSCILL is a two-year training school for juniors, seniors, and industrial employees, offering several continuing education courses, computer classes, and an automotive technology program. A highly-trained workforce is the backbone of a strong, diverse economy and many of the skills needed to compete in the global market of the 21st century are technically-demanding.\nCurrently, the demand for qualified workers is increasing at a pace far greater than existing communities can produce. Thanks to Ron's dedication, SCILL has focused on developing and training more workers to meet this demand, building a strong workforce, and ensuring the steady growth of our economy, Walorski said. On behalf of the people of the Second Congressional District of Indiana, I thank Ron Gifford for elevating the contributions skilled workers make to our state, making our economy stronger than ever.\nWatch Walorski's floor speech here", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://walorski.house.gov/walorski-honors-scill-director-ron-gifford-for-whos-who-in-in-02/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5182998031377792, "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"}
