18 colleges in 14 states receive funding for manufacturing and IT training.
The Department of Labor has awarded 18 colleges $65 million in grant funding, supporting their workforce training programs for advanced manufacturing, clean energy, biotechnology, and other critical industry sectors. This is the fifth round of funding distributed through the Strengthening Community Colleges Training Grants, which has thus far invested $265 million into a total of 207 colleges in 35 states.
“Our Strengthening Community Colleges grantees run programs that help lift whole communities, like by helping community colleges equip workers with the skills they need right now, while strengthening workforce infrastructure,” said Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su. “This is how we fundamentally shift workforce training programs to better invest in improving the lives of America’s workers.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Acting Secretary Su and U.S. labor officials as they support community college training programs.
- For the president and Cabinet secretaries to be prudent in their awarding of grants and other funding for manufacturing, energy, and technology.
