GOVERNOR O’MALLEY TO HIGHLIGHT EARN JOB TRAINING INITIATIVE

ANNAPOLIS, MD – TODAY at 2:00 p.m., Governor O’Malley, joined by Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake, will visit the Maritime Applied Physics Corporation (MAPCorp), where he will highlight the benefits of the Employment Advancement Right Now (EARN) job training initiative passed in the recent legislative session.

The EARN job training initiative helps bridge the gap between specific employer workforce needs and the skills of Maryland’s workers. EARN helps to identify common workforce needs for high-demand occupations such as construction, traditional and advanced manufacturing, cyber security, and health care; and develops and implements education or training strategies to address those shortages.

MAPCorp is an advanced manufacturing company that can grow and expand in Maryland with a highly-skilled workforce. The company focuses on engineering, prototyping, and production for government and commercial sponsors.
