December 18, 2009 - A True “Triple-Play” for ARRA - Capital Workforce Partners’ Weatherization Training Program funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and delivered through the Jobs Funnel showed off a ‘triple play’ at the Program’s first graduation.   Nineteen individuals received 1)  Real demand-driven training, to provide (2), a greener Earth and real dollar savings for area residents, and 3) most of the graduates have job opportunities waiting for them. One graduate couldn’t make the ceremony because she was already hired and busy working on a home weatherization project!  In the photo is CWP, Tom Phillips and The Jobs Funnel Director, Yolanda Rivera.
