Job Training Programs
One of the best way to find job training programs is to go online and research. The US government, for example,
have a created a number of initiatives for job training programs available for veterans, women, youths, African Americans and Latinos.
As an example, The U.S. Department of Energy announced June 6, 2010, that the Tlingit and Haida Central Council will receive more than $960,000 in funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to expand Alaska's weatherization training programs and establish a new weatherization training center in Juneau.
The award is one of 34 projects in 27 states selected to receive $29 million in stimulus funding.
The funds will be used to expand weatherization services for low-income households in Southeast Alaska by providing weatherization-related job training, according to the Department of Energy.
The program hopes to create 25 paid, on-the-job apprenticeships, employ trained personnel to address low-income housing units in need of weatherization, and support a training center and test home.
The training center will help prepare workers, supervisors and inspectors to work in the growing field of energy efficiency retrofits, using a combination of classroom, online and hands-on learning tools.
