Greetings, career path group,
The quote below is from an announcement that just came out that has money for community colleges in each state to provide training programs in partnerships with local employers. The list of the colleges and their grants for each state are listed in the announcement at http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/eta/ETA20121885.htm . Are any of you involved with these colleges and these grants? I would love to have you share some details about your programs with us on this site. Please? Thanks!
"Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis today announced $500 million in grants to community colleges and universities around the country for the development and expansion of innovative training programs. The grants are part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training initiative, which promotes skills development and employment opportunities in fields such as advanced manufacturing, transportation and health care, as well as science, technology, engineering and math careers through partnerships between training providers and local employers. The U.S. Department of Labor is implementing and administering the program in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education."
