"By investing $98 million through our YouthBuild Program, the Labor Department is opening up pathways to success for young Americans by providing them with opportunities to gain hands-on experience in construction and emerging fields," said Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The Labor Department explained, "The grants will help provide academic support, occupational skills training, and employment services to young people, ages 16 to 24, in communities where many youths are not participating in the labor force." |
