WASHINGTON – Rhode Island will receive $524,394 to provide re-employment and eligibility assessments to residents receiving unemployment insurance.
Rhode Island is one of 37 states and the District of Columbia to share $48.7 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Labor.
The money will go to conducting assessments of visitors at the state’s One-Stop Career Centers.
“This critical funding will help more Rhode Islanders with their job search and address the concerns of Rhode Island companies with job openings who often say they cannot find workers with the appropriate skills,” said U.S. Sens. Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse and U.S. Reps. James R. Langevin and David N. Cicilline.
