Clark earns $10M federal workforce training grant

Clark University in Worcester has secured a $10-million federal grant for workforce training in industries including information technology, advanced manufacturing, and transportation. Clark, which announced the funding Thursday, was one of 19 recipients nationwide and the only one in Massachusetts. Its share of $145 million in funds from the U.S. Department of Labor will establish a partnership called the TechBoost Program to include the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, the City of Worcester and the MassHire workforce development office in Worcester. The grant will help partners far beyond the Worcester area. CareerSource Tampa Bay, a workforce development office in Florida and Florida Career College, as well as Partner4Work, a similar agency in Pittsburgh, are part of the TechBoost Program. Two Florida information technology firms are also a part: OwnForce and Lucravalde.
