The proposal itself is potentially significant for tech as well. If you meet the criteria, you either get two years of academic credit (which you can transfer to a public college or university) or a training program that gives you the skills to work in a given field. The move could lead to more locally-sourced tech workers, not to mention more incentives for companies to open US factories. There's no telling whether or not the idea would work as well as planned, and it's bound to face stiff opposition from Congress, but it's certainly a bold concept.
