More Educators rethink teacher training U.S. News & World Report Share ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Joyce Randall, who's in her third year of teaching history to 10th graders in her hometown of Chicago, is blunt about the effort needed to succeed at her work. "This is a difficult job for anyone to do for a long period of time, especially for the money we're paid," she says. The 26-year-old spent 12 months at the Academy for Urban School Leadership, a hands-on residency program for future educators, where she gained both practical experience and a master's degree. "You need more than just a passion for the job," she notes wryly.

Cuts are threatening job-training efforts The New York Times Share ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Financial struggles forced Brenda Williams to close the small soul food restaurant she had owned on the South Side of New York City for six years. Aside from a one-month stint on a construction site, she hasn't been able to find work in the four years since. Last fall she applied at a warehouse for airplane and construction machinery parts. She never heard back. But she reapplied and had an interview with the same company, and now she has good reason to be more hopeful. More Federal stimulus funds for job training ending this summer The Metro West Daily News Share ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even as unemployment remains stubbornly high, Massachusetts job training and placement programs face both federal budget cuts and the loss of stimulus funding that bolstered them through the recession. State work force development programs have received roughly $77.3 million through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or the federal stimulus plan. The largest portion of that money - $56 million to boost services mainly for low-income adults, youths and laid-off workers - has allowed the state to help an additional 18,000 people get job training and education, according to state labor officials.
