First Lady Jill Biden visited Reno on Wednesday to highlight job training and cancer treatment programs.

The two policy priorities were mentioned by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address last week.

"It means investing in our workforce so that it's ready for industries of the future, and it means working families have the opportunity to train for great jobs," said Doctor Biden at the event.

Jill Biden talked with students at a private event at Truckee Meadows Community College, and toured the facility where future nurses, EMT's and radiology students were learning in real world environments. 

Dr. Biden was also showcasing what the funding from the American Rescue Plan paid for, as TMCC officials say the school took in over $24 million in funding, which was used for everything from tuition to equipment for students to learn on.  

"We drove millions of dollars out direct to students who demonstrated need, and that really helped them finish their college studies or start their college studies tuition free," said Dr. Karin Hilgersom, President of TMCC.

Governor Steve Sisolak also spoke at the event, promising more students will have access to free education by 2025. "As long as we continue to invest in the people of Nevada and developing our workforce, we will continue to move towards a brighter future."

Biden also visited Arizona earlier this week, talking about the administrations "Cancer Moonshot Initiative," and the importance of pre-screening early for cancer and funding research for a cure. 

2 News will have a full recap of her visit on today's newscasts. 

The Republican National Committee released this statement regarding Mrs. Biden's visit:

“Jill Biden’s visit does nothing to address the real issues facing Nevadans, who are paying over $500 more per month in household costs because of inflation. The Biden administration is failing on the most important issues in Nevada right now, like record-high gas prices, skyrocketing inflation and the historic border crisis. Jill Biden’s attempts to aid vulnerable Democrats like Catherine Cortez Masto will not succeed when Nevadans are struggling just to get by under Joe Biden.”
