Additionally, the bill would encourage universities to work with community and technical colleges to provide hands-on learning experiences for their students.
Support legislation to encourage universities to work with community and technical colleges to provide hands-on learning experiences for students in quantum-related fields.
Occurrences
Evidence
Salinas's official Science, Space, and Technology issue page says she has worked across the aisle on legislation to improve education and workforce development for quantum science and artificial intelligence, and it notes that her district includes community and technical colleges.
Salinas co-introduced H.R. 5351, the NSF AI Education Act. The release says the bill would expand scholarships and fellowships, create regional centers at community colleges and career and technical education institutions, and connect higher education with workforce training and research.
Assessments
Salinas shows active legislative effort in the same education/workforce lane, including an official statement on quantum-science education/workforce legislation and a co-introduced bill linking higher education with community colleges and workforce training. However, the evidence does not show she specifically secured legislation matching the claim’s exact quantum-related university/community-college hands-on learning outcome, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
