LANSING, MICH.
Michigan is getting about $5 million from the federal government to train electricians and other workers related to "smart grid" development.
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the grant Thursday and said it could help train about 600 Michigan workers. The money comes from the federal stimulus program.
The retraining program could cover unemployed workers or those who have jobs but are looking to upgrade. The program is aimed at preparing the next generation of workers in the utility and electrical manufacturing industries.
The Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth will receive about $4.4 million for the program. Northern Michigan University will get more than $650,000.
