Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds recently announced that 46 awardees have been awarded $5.85 million from the Coronavirus Relief Fund Earn and Learn Grant, according to a press release from the Governor's Office.
Grant funds will be used to fund projects that focus on creating short-term job training opportunities for Iowan residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Earn and Learn grant program will lead to training opportunities in high demand occupations helping Iowans find good-paying, family-supporting careers,” Reynolds said. “These funds may be used toward tuition, training equipment, books, tools, work-related supplies, wrap-around supports, as well as administrative costs. I am proud to announce these awards to 46 innovative projects with the potential of serving 1,800 Iowans whose employment has been affected by this pandemic.”
