Job Growth Grant Fund<\/strong><\/h2>

The backstory:<\/p>

At the press conference, DeSantis reflected on the state of workforce programs at the beginning of his term of governor in 2019.<\/p>

<\/div>

At that time, the job growth grant fund was announced, to help increase the number of high school programs, apprenticeships and manufacturing partners when it came to workforce training.<\/p>

Now, DeSantis says that funds have allowed for massive expansion of programs over the years, including for truck driving CDLs and aerospace training.<\/p>

“We want to provide the opportunities for students to choose their own way. It doesn\u2019t have to be four-year brick and ivy universities,” DeSantis said. “It can be apprenticeships, it can be high school certifications, it can be our state college system.”<\/p>

Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas said $12 billion has been given from the Job Growth Grant Fund so far.<\/p>

Grant money for Pasco-Hernando State College<\/strong><\/h2>

Dig deeper:<\/p>

DeSantis said the $3 million will be invested into the school\u2019s Airframe and Powerplant program at the Brooksville-Tampa regional airport.<\/p>

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n <\/div>

The money will help with the renovation and build-out of classrooms and labs for the new program. It will bring in the tools and instructional technology necessary for hands-on learning. And will help relocate the original pilot program location to the regional airport.<\/p>

At the new location, mechanics will work alongside aviation students.<\/p>

What’s next:<\/p>

DeSantis emphasized the growing need for those in the blue-collar industry.<\/p>

“No matter what happens in society in the state of Florida in the future, people\u2019s air conditioning is going to break, and they\u2019re gonna need somebody to fix it,” he said.<\/p>

School officials stated the money will help expand the college\u2019s capacity to meet regional workforce needs and will ensure that graduates are prepared for high-skill and high-demand aviation careers.<\/p>

Florida\u2019s Agriculture Commissioner and alum of PHSC said this growth fund and other programs like it have spent years leveling the playing field for students.<\/p>
