Oakton Wins Professional Development Grant
Oakton Community College and other local institutions are the recipients of a $400,000 grant to enhance the skills of manufacturer employees throughout the region, College officials said.
The grant was awarded to the Northern Illinois Regional Consortium, a collaborative effort among Oakton, College of DuPage, College of Lake County, and William Rainey Harper College. The grant funds will help train more than 4,000 individuals at 64 companies throughout Cook, DuPage, and Lake counties. The funding is part of Opportunity Returns, a state initiative to spur economic growth and create new jobs in Illinois.
