#Apprenticeships are the cornerstone of President Trump’s workforce strategy, and #cybersecurity is one of the most urgent national workforce challenges. I was honored to join the launch of the DC Tech Hub Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program at the University of the District of Columbia. This apprenticeship program serves as a model for how collaboration between industry and education can build robust talent pipelines for our nation’s most critical industries. President Trump’s Executive Order makes clear that emerging technology fields, such as cybersecurity, are priority sectors, and this program brings that policy to life on the ground to build the pipeline of skilled talent needed to defend our digital infrastructure. Thank you to Julie Sweet/Accenture, Murali Vullaganti/PeopleShores, and President Maurice Edington/University of the District of Columbia for your leadership in establishing this new apprenticeship hub. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to expanding the proven model of apprenticeships, including exploring opportunities to streamline the registration process and improve the value proposition for Registered Apprenticeships, to provide more opportunities for American Workers.

Today, the U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) rescinded a 2022 compliance release that discouraged fiduciaries from including #cryptocurrency options in #401(k) retirement plans. By rescinding the 2022 guidance, DOL reaffirms its neutral stance, neither endorsing, nor disapproving of, plan fiduciaries who conclude that the inclusion of cryptocurrency in a plan’s investments are appropriate. The now rescinded 2022 guidance directed plan fiduciaries to exercise “extreme care” before adding cryptocurrency to investment menus. This language deviated from the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and marked a departure from DOL's historically neutral, principled-based approach to fiduciary investment decisions. https://lnkd.in/ewbZh3si

President Trump is taking bold action to lower prescription drug costs through price transparency. We joined the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Treasury Department to build on that effort with new steps to strengthen drug price disclosure.

At the Department of Labor, we believe transparency empowers individuals to make well-informed health care decisions for themselves and their families. Today, the U.S. Department of Labor issued a Request for Information (RFI) with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)and U.S. Department of the Treasury to seek public feedback on how to improve prescription drug price transparency. The actions today will help address rising health care costs by promoting competition in the marketplace, which is a critical component of President Trump’s mission to make life more affordable for the American people. This RFI is a critical step forward in our effort to implement President Trump’s Executive Order, “Making America Healthy Again by Empowering Patients with Clear, Accurate, and Actionable Healthcare Pricing Information,” which directs the Labor, HHS, and Treasury to build on the groundbreaking transparency regulations launched during the President’s first term. The RFI seeks input regarding prescription drug price disclosure requirements, including information on existing prescription drug file data elements and information on implementation generally. Today’s actions will strengthen two key regulatory actions: The Transparency in Coverage final regulations, which require health plans and insurance companies to publicly post in-network rates, out-of-network allowed amounts, billed charges, and negotiated prices for prescription drugs. The Hospital Price Transparency final regulations, which require hospitals to publicly post standard charges, including gross charges, cash prices, payer-specific negotiated rates, and the minimum negotiated charges, in an easy-to-understand format for shoppable services. Additionally, the three departments also released updated guidance for health plans and issuers that sets a clear applicability date for publishing an enhanced technical format for disclosures.
