Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On August 12th, 2025, with the Trump administration attempting to eliminate Job Corps, one of the nation’s largest and most effective workforce training programs, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer stood with Cassadaga Job Corps students and staff at Jamestown Community College to lead the fight to keep Job Corps open. Schumer explained that the Trump administration is not only targeting Job Corps centers for closure, but in his recent budget request, Trump said he wants to eliminate funding for the program.
Schumer said that following his push, the Senate Appropriations Committee has passed a bipartisan bill out of committee that protects funding for Job Corps for next year, and now is calling on House Republicans to follow the Senate’s bipartisan lead, and rebuke Trump’s request to eliminate funding and protect this beloved program that helps WNY students get jobs and small businesses succeed.
