JEFFERSON CITY — Senator Kurt Schaefer today announces the availability of funds from the Department of Economic Development (DED) that have been allocated to train 80 workers at International Business Machines (IBM) in Columbia.
The funds are the result of IBM’s participation in the Missouri Customized Training Program through DED’s Center for Workforce Development. The program assists companies by providing funds for various types of industry training as new job positions become available.
“This program is a great incentive toward job creation, not only in mid-Missouri, but all across our state,” Sen. Schaefer said. “In addition to its many benefits, the Customized Training Program helps strengthen the workforce and productivity of citizens in our state by placing well-trained employees in new or existing positions.”
For more information on the Missouri Customized Training Program, visit www.ded.mo.gov/Programs.aspx and navigate to the “Customized Training” link under the “Workforce Training” header.
As always, should you have questions or concerns about any facet of the Missouri Legislature, please feel free to contact Sen. Schaefer’s office.
