Rhode Island NPR | October 28, 2016
Providence Business News Editor Mark Murphy joins Rhode Island Public Radio’s Dave Fallon for our weekly business segment, The Bottom Line. Mark is off this week.
This week, Dave speaks with Scott Jensen, director of Rhode Island’s Department of Labor and Training.
The agency has a new program called “Platform to Employment” program, which helps people unemployed long-term find jobs. Dave and Scott discuss how the program works, how people are selected, what kind of training they receive, and what kinds of companies are participating.
