Charlotte firms receive training funds
Written on July 16, 2010
The N.C. Department of Commerce has approved grants totaling $187,754 to cover the cost of training workers at 12 businesses in Mecklenburg County.
The funds will be used to train 467 workers. Seven of the businesses have fewer than 100 employees.
“Now, more than ever, small businesses need our help and support,” says Deborah Gibson, executive director of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Workforce Development Board, which submitted the grant applications. “Ensuring they have a skilled work force increases the likelihood they can grow and stimulate the creation of new jobs payday loans for bad credit.”
The board manages and administers the state’s incumbent workforce development program. It also provides employment and training services to the unemployed.
Businesses interested in pursuing funding in the next round of training grants can learn how at an orientation session on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 10 at the Harris Campus of Central Piedmont Community College. Registration for the program is required. Information is available at www.charlotteworks.org.
