Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Governor Beshear announces program to train women, minorities for construction jobs
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear is trying to bridge a gap that’s missing from the Ohio River Bridges project.
Bridges to Opportunities is a new program that will educate and train skilled minority and female workers for careers in construction.
“Bridges to Opportunities is an innovative training program that will help fill a need for women and minority workers in the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project, but that is just the beginning,” Gov. Beshear said. “The use of plural terms – ‘bridges’ and ‘opportunities’ – is no accident. The Ohio River Bridges will be finished in a few years. Those who complete our program will be armed with the skills for a lifetime career.”
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has developed the program in partnership with the Kentucky Cabinet for Education and Workforce Development, Kentucky State University, Louisville Metro Government and FHWA.
