The Vermont Healthcare and Information Technology Education Center received $2 million from the U.S. Department of Labor to help develop the state's unemployed and underemployed workforce, according to a Healthcare IT News report.
With the funding, Vermont HITEC will be able to train people in a variety of fields, including health information technology and advanced manufacturing. Vermont HITEC has already helped train Vermonters for positions such as medical coders, phlebotomists and software developers.
U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) secured funding for this training in last year's appropriations bill and said it will aid the urgency of preparing the state population for the jobs of tomorrow.
