Utica Shale Academy receives $2.3M grant
Monday, March 27, 2023
The Utica Shale Academy of Ohio has received $2.3 million from the Appalachian Community Grant Program to create the Connecting Communities Through Workforce Training project, according to WKBN.
The Connecting Communities Through Workforce Training project will provide residents with a career pathway for high-demand jobs that allow them to earn a sustainable living wage. It will expand training at three strategically-placed training centers, focusing on heavy equipment operation, welding, industrial maintenance, robotics, 3D printing, broadband infrastructure and diesel mechanics.
The DeWine-Husted Administration created the Appalachian Community Grant Program, in partnership with the Ohio General Assembly, last year to support local initiatives to revitalize downtown districts, enhance quality of life and rebuild the economics of Ohio’s 32 Appalachian counties.
