Training Grant for UAM CTM (6/15/09)
MONTICELLO, AR — The UAM College of Technology-McGehee will soon begin
training students to sit for licensure as Arkansas contractors, thanks to a
$25,000 grant from the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services (DWS).
LaWarn Rodgers, director of UAM CTM’s Arkansas Career Pathways Initiative,
presented a grant proposal to DWS, which requested funding to train 25
participants to become licensed contractors.
The grant will help fund the use of professional construction consultants,
who will serve as lead instructors in the project.
Rodgers will serve as the lead instructor for participants in achieving an
employability certificate from the Arkansas Career Pathways Initiative and
The Arkansas Career Readiness Certificate (CRC).
Participants or businesses interested in the program should contact Rodgers
for training guidelines and requirements at (870) 222-5360. |
