Vermont Public Radio reports that "about 1,000 Vermont workers will be able to improve their jobs skills through training being paid for with a $400,000 grant." According to Governor Jim Douglas, "The training will help members of Vermont's work force find high-skill, high-wage jobs and help their employers be more competitive in the global marketplace." The training will be provided by the nonprofit Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center on the campus of Vermont Technical College in Randolph. "Last year the program provided training to almost 5,000 workers from more than 80 Vermont firms."
