State Grant Will Train More Health Care Workers

Maryland officials recently committed $309,000 to train 250 to 300 workers for new health care jobs that are anticipated to come online as the Affordable Care Act is implemented throughout the state.

The Maryland/DC 1199SEIU Training and Upgrading Fund is an existing partnership between 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, the labor union that represents Maryland workers, and participating employers.

Maryland’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation worked with the union to identify the greatest expected workforce needs for the training program to address.

My question is what Maryland officials committed this money and what budget did it come from. And, did any elected official pass off on this spending?

We know that this will just gum up the whole process, not that it isn't already totally gummed up.
