W. Va. Laid-Off Worker Training Program Out Of Funds
Workforce West Virginia announced this week it's run out of money to provide job training for about 600 recently laid-off workers. Acting Executive Director Russell Fry says, for the current fiscal year, the program received $11 million, an amount based on figures from the previous fiscal year. But he says an increase in unemployment has upped the demand for training, leaving the program in need of funding. Fry says, to keep the program going, he plans to ask the federal government for a loan.
