Vermont will get $8.5 million as the US Department of Labor today announced fiscal year 2010 allotments to states and outlying areas under the Workforce Investment Act and Wagner-Peyser Act. New Hampshire will get over $10 million. The nearly $4 billion in total funds will be used to help Americans get back to work through high quality employment and training services, which are delivered largely through the department's national network of One-Stop Career Centers.
"These funds, and the employment and training services that they support, are a cornerstone of our nationwide effort to prepare America's workers for good jobs the kind that spur the economy and pay family-supporting wages," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "As they seek out careers in promising local industries, workers need access to high quality training and employment services. I am pleased that this funding will help support those efforts."
Americans can access services provided through this funding via One-Stop Career Centers. To find a local center, visit http://www.servicelocator.org or call 877-348-0502 or TTY 877-348-0501.
