Gov. OKs job training funds

Position to expose students to industry opportunities

Gov. Gray Davis has approved a $1 million grant to the Hollywood Entertainment Museum for a job training program.

"This grant will be used to give high school students the vocational and other skills necessary to prepare them for well-paid, entry-level employment in the entertainment industry," Davis said.

The program, paid from the governor's discretionary fund of the federal Workforce Investment Act, will expose students to opportunities in the industry.

The museum works with at-risk youth through its Education Center and Academy for the Entertainment Arts programs and sponsors an "Entertainment on the Go" mobile project.
