Gift from CBL Foundation to Assist Greer Area Workforce Development

GREENVILLE, SC – The CBL Foundation has given $7,500 to the Greenville Tech Foundation to provide tuition assistance for Greer area residents needing skills training to become employed, or to move their careers forward. The funds will provide support for those participating in the “Quick Jobs With a Future” program at Greenville Technical College.

The director of the Quick Jobs program, Steve Hand, said, “With this support a number of people will receive the skills training they need to become productive citizens in our community. Without this community support these individuals remain unemployed.”

Paul Rogers, Chairman of the CBL Board, said “Citizens Building and Loan Charitable Foundation recognizes the importance of Greenville Tech to our community. We are delighted to assist the Greenville Tech Foundation as it supports education and training for a broad range of careers and professions.”
