More opportunity created by Seaport operations: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!
Thousands of Florida transportation industry workers could hone their skills using more than $2.2 million worth of state-funded training opportunities under a grant announced Wednesday. Business leaders, elected officials and the board charged with keeping Florida residents in the workforce said the grants will help companies that use freight facilities, such as JaxPort. The infusion of cash is intended to create jobs, improve employee performance and start career-focused courses in high schools to make the state more competitive internationally. The overall message of the stimulus: Florida has depended on agriculture, tourism and construction for too long. [Source: Florida Times-Union]
