DOL Provides $150 Million for Expanded Job Training

The money is available through the new Sector Partnerships National Emergency Grant program.

May 02, 2015

The U.S. Department of Labor has made $150 million available through the new Sector Partnerships National Emergency Grant program in order to help states develop innovative employment and training services that focus on enhanced regional and industry-specific collaborations.

This is designed to support proven strategies to help people rejoin the job market and add fuel to the economy, according to a news release from DOL.

"Building a better workforce system means doing things in smarter more effective ways. It means scaling up the programs that we know work. It also means constantly innovating to better serve the people who need it most," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez. "These grants will provide states with critical funding to implement and expand proven strategies so that workers can secure a foothold in the middle class and businesses can grow."

The MGC Simple Plus

The MGC Simple Plus is a simple-to-use, portable multi-gas detector that runs continuously for three years without needing to be recharged or routinely calibrated after its initial charge and calibration during manufacturing. The detector reliably tests a worksite’s atmosphere for hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and combustible gases (LEL). Additionally, it is durable enough to withstand the harshest treatment and environments, which is why it has an IP 68 rating. The MGC Simple Plus is also compatible with a variety of accessories, such as Gas Clip Technologies’ new GCT External Pump. Visit gascliptech.com for more information. 3
