Gov. Rick Snyder is heading to Washington to talk about jobs.
He's scheduled to testify Wednesday morning before the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce on ways to promote job creation.
Snyder and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy have been invited to
talk about what's happening in their states and offer policy recommendations.
In December, Snyder unveiled a new state website aimed at matching residents with jobs by offering workers and employers one-stop shopping for career planning, job openings and education
and training.
He's expected to recommend Wednesday that the federal government allow more foreign students to remain in the country after they obtain degrees from American universities. President Barack Obama also wants to lift some visa caps so more high-skilled foreign
workers can stay and work.
