The Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) recently awarded four local workforce development boards statewide $8.2 million in Near Completer Demonstration Project (NCDP) grants.
The grants assist job seekers who are out of work because of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing education and connecting them to positions that pay $15 per hour or more.
“These projects will make a direct investment in Pennsylvanians who are within one semester or less of completing their certificate or degree and help build a brighter future for these workers and their families,” Gov. Tom Wolf said.
