Maryland legislation encourages manufacturing jobs, training

Thursday, April 20, 2017

New legislation in Maryland that takes effect in June provides $1 million in workforce development scholarships and builds on current apprenticeship programs, while also providing tax incentives for new and existing manufacturers to create jobs in areas of the state that need them most.
