RANDOLPH — Vermont Technical College has been awarded a $4 million grant to train low-skilled workers in advanced manufacturing.
The money is part of $54 million in grants being awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor, and the only grant award that will serve an entire state.
The grant will support the Vermont Supported Training Education and Employment Partnership, a statewide public-private partnership that targets low- and middle-income people to improve their job prospects by training them to work in the high-tech manufacturing industry.
“Vermont Tech is proud to be a recipient of the working-families grant,” said Dan Smith, VTC’s president. “We strive to be the source of competitive advantage for Vermont’s advanced manufacturing industry, and these pathways and wrap-around services will increase the highly skilled workforce available to Vermont’s employers.”
