PHOENIX — Governor Doug Ducey today announced an investment of nearly $14 million to support career training and development programs for Arizona high school students and underserved communities.
"Arizona is a land of limitless opportunity," said Governor Ducey. "We are a state where anyone can get a good education and find a quality job. This funding will cement our position as a national model for preparing workers for tomorrow's jobs. It will empower Arizonans by dramatically increasing job training opportunities."
The investments are directed to five important job training programs that work with students and job seekers throughout Arizona. They include:
Local First Arizona Foundation: $9.5 million to address workforce shortages and economic challenges in five Northern Arizona counties. The newly created Northern Arizona Good Jobs Network will convene under the leadership of the Local First Arizona Foundation to develop a regional workforce training ecosystem. The network is designed to get individuals back to work and increase wage growth throughout in-demand sectors, while securing and retaining quality jobs. The effort will combine the work of community colleges, local employers and [email protected] to develop employer-based curricula and training programs.
