Investing in America: South Bend
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited South Bend, IN, where he served as mayor from 2012 to 2020, to tour a union training facility, meet with union workers and apprentices, and check in on transit improvements in Northern Indiana. Thanks to President Biden’s Investing in America agenda and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, tens of thousands of projects are in development and creating jobs now, with project completion rolling out in the years and decades ahead.
Secretary Buttigieg began the visit to South Bend with a tour at the South Bend Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (SBJATC), part of IBEW 153. During the tour, union leaders and apprentices demonstrated electrical skills students learn as part of their training.
