NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Department of Labor is looking to get the word out about a federal grant awarded in Nebraska last year that aims to employ dislocated workers, the long-term unemployed and returning veterans.

The $4.4 million Job Driven National Emergency Grant offers training assistance to Nebraska employers. It targets manufacturing, transportation, distribution and logistics industries. It provides reimbursement for on-the-job training for jobs that are full time and permanent.

Grace Johnson with the Nebraska Labor Department says state officials are still recruiting and don’t yet have a count on the number of employers and employees participating.

Rates of reimbursement are 90 percent for firms with up to 50 employees, 75 percent to 250 employees and 50 percent for larger companies.
