Central Piedmont Community College and several of its industry partners received a $5 million grant Friday from the U.S. labor department for a four-year regional effort to improve information technology skills for workers.

Over the next four years, the initiative will use two training strategies: customized instruction for workers with college degrees, and targeted certification training for the long-term unemployed.
