Area companies to receive job-training money

JEFFERSON CITY -- The Missouri Department of Economic Development and its Division of Workforce Development have approved more than $1.7 million in assistance to facilitate the training of more than 7,600 new or existing employees in the state. The funds are for training during the state's fiscal year 2003.

Companies will use the funds to pay for training programs, customized to their particular industry. Money for the training was appropriated by the General Assembly to the Missouri Job Development Fund and will be administered through the state's Customized Training Program.

The program is offered by the Division of Workforce Development, in cooperation with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Training will be provided locally by community colleges and area vocational technical schools with cooperation from local workforce investment boards.
