U.S. First Lady Jill Biden and Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona visited Beta Technologies in Vermont last week to see how the electric aviation company is prioritizing educational opportunities and workforce development to create jobs in the clean-energy industry. 

The visit was part of the Biden-Harris administration’s Investing in America Tour, which kicked off on March 28 in an effort to demonstrate how the administration’s agenda has made a positive impact on clean energy, “green” technologies, and job creation. Joining Cardona and Biden on the trip was Vermont Gov. Phil Scott.
