Local residents who were laid off from jobs at Milgard Manufacturing, the Hollister School District and the County of San Benito may qualify for job training programs that are starting up at the county. The programs include an individual training account, on-the-job training, work experience and support services.
A $19 million state training grant will help nearly 2,500 residents in 13 counties receive training for new careers, including 50 residents of San Benito County.
