The Helen Bader Foundation is handing out $1.1 million in grants, giving money to 23 workforce development programs, each in the city, meant to chip away at one of the most intractable problems in the industrial economy, unemployment.
Foundation president Dan Bader said he doesn't have precise jobs targets for the grants. Some funds will go to employers, but much of the funding goes to training and education, where employment outcomes are harder to predict, Bader said. Grants range from $7,500 to $150,000.
