State Representative Mike Hanna announced $53,719.50 in grants being awarded in Centre and Clinton counties.

These two competitive state grants will aid in the purchase of equipment for training students in high-demand jobs.

“These two grants will help the Central PA Institute of Science and Technology and Keystone Central Career and Technical Center better enable our students with the training they need for the jobs of today and the future,” said Hanna. “This investment will ensure our workforce is ready to meet the demand for skilled workers, as that need continues to grow across the commonwealth.”

The Central PA Institute of Science and Technology was awarded $50,000 and the Keystone Central Career and Technology Center was awarded $3,719.50.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education is awarding $1.2 million in grants to 38 career and technological centers across the state.
