BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced the U.S. Department of the Treasury has approved North Dakota’s application for more than $68 million in funding for Career and Technical Education (CTE) Centers. This funding will address the state’s workforce challenges and provide more opportunities for students to receive cost-effective education and training in high-demand careers.
“Our economy is only as strong as our workforce,” said Senator Cramer. “When we increase access to job training programs and pathways to obtain high-demand careers, we can prepare the next generation of workers to meet the opportunities of tomorrow. I look forward to seeing the impact this funding will have on the 13 projects throughout the state.”
