FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The federal government has awarded $10 million to six Kentucky community colleges to support training programs.
About half goes to Hazard Community and Technical College to lead a consortium of six community and technical colleges focused on information technology training.
Gov. Steve Beshear's office says the grant should make it easier to train at Kentucky community colleges for a career in fields such as mobile app development or medical billing.
A news release from Beshear's office said the consortium will create four information technology pathways in computer and medical information that will lead to five degrees and 13 certificates.
Participating community colleges include Hazard, Big Sandy, Jefferson, Somerset, Southeast and West Kentucky.
