WASHINGTON (AP) A new White House-backed ad campaign aims to encourage people who are unemployed or unhappy in their jobs or careers to find something new.
The opening ad in the Find Something New campaign beginning Tuesday features ordinary people sharing their stories. A companion website provides links to training and other resources.
The initiative was swiftly criticized on social media, with some suggesting the effort is insensitive during a pandemic and the widespread unemployment it has caused. Others criticized the involvement of Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trumps daughter and White House adviser.
The Trump administration has long emphasized skills-based job and vocational training as an alternative to two- or four-year college degree programs, arguing that college isnt for everyone and that many jobs dont require a degree.

Without much of a pause, Trump told the crowd of roughly 120 high-end donors that her mother gave her an example of how to be a powerful, successful woman.
And her father? He passed onto her his moral compass.' - Politico
