Fougere says Missouri got this grant money because the program was working so well in giving on the job training to laid off workers. He says this helps business too by increasing productivity and allowing companies to not have to pay for training.

Fougere says this program is for people in a large range of fields from auto technicians to Information Technology jobs to  healthcare professionals. The program started in 2009.
