Ivanka Trump has rescheduled her trip to visit a Littleton-based aerospace company two months after her original visit was canceled following the shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch.
Trump, the daughter of and adviser to President Donald Trump, will visit with Lockheed Martin workers and CEO Marillyn Hewson on Monday for a roundtable discussion on the company’s workforce development and apprenticeship programs in Colorado, a White House official told The Denver Post.
“Our mission is straightforward; to ensure inclusive growth and opportunity in our booming economy by creating pathways for all Americans, regardless of age or background, to acquiring the skills needed to secure and retain high paying jobs,” Ivanka Trump said in a statement.
Following the roundtable, Trump and Hewson will tour the facility and meet with graduates of an apprenticeship program. Hewson is a member of the Trump administration’s American Workforce Policy Advisory Board. Lockheed Martin committed to creating 8,000 jobs for American workers as part of the Presidentap Pledge to America’s Workers.
Trump skipped a planned visit to Lockheed Martin in May. Instead, she visited with Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock and several deputies who responded to the STEM Shooting.
No child should know the horror of what students at STEM School Highlands Ranch experienced today.
America mourns with the victims’ families and prays for the welfare of those injured.

The news of Trump’s visit comes days after her brother, Donald Trump Jr., spoke at the Western Conservative Summit in downtown Denver.
