Connors gets $1.9M in grants to team with Workforce

Connors State College will provide educational, training and support services for the Eastern Workforce Investment Board through $1.9 million in federal grants.

The seven counties served by EWIB are Adair, Cherokee, McIntosh, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Sequoyah and Wagoner.

CSC President Donnie Nero said the college has contracted with EWIB for 20 months, beginning Nov. 1. Part of the grant comes from stimulus money and part comes from federal Workforce grant funds. He said the grant will help Connors coordinate its programs.

Patty Garner, director of Workforce Oklahoma’s Muskogee office, said Connors will help the Workforce office help clients find employment and training.

People wanting assistance may call the Muskogee Workforce offices at 721 S. 32nd St. Information: 682-3364.
