Governor Wes Moore announced Monday $3.7 million in funding to expand the Maryland Department of Labor’s Employment Advancement Right Now Maryland program. EARN Maryland is the state’s workforce solution that helps businesses cultivate the skilled labor they need to compete, while also preparing Marylanders for meaningful careers.
“It is through sustained and invaluable partnerships that Maryland’s economy will thrive,” said Gov. Moore. “Through programs like EARN, we can both meet the demands of businesses and support workers by cutting through red tape and providing access to resources that will create meaningful opportunities for growth.”
EARN Maryland awards funding to strategic industry partnerships between employers, non-profit organizations, higher education and local workforce development boards. Based upon employer-identified training needs, partnerships provide education and skills training to both unemployed and underemployed Marylanders, as well as career advancement opportunities for incumbent workers.
