ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando city commissioners have approved $225,000 in federal CARES Act funds to help Orange County residents impacted by COVID-19 with career and workforce training.
It’s a partnership with the Central Florida Urban League to connect Orange County residents to career and workforce training.
It’s all a part of the Blueprint 2.0 program. The approved funding will also assist residents in more areas like Holden Heights, Rosemont, Eatonville, and helps those residents find high-wage jobs.
