Tec Centro helps those in need with new funding

A bilingual workforce training organization with locations across south-central Pennsylvania has received new state funding to help expand its reach.
“It will in time transform communities,” Carlos Graupera, CEO of Tec Centro Workforce, said.
Graupera says the $8 million of state funding his organization recently received will allow them to offer bilingual training to those who are in poverty and unemployed.
The program, which normally costs about $100, has a waitlist for all 6 of their facilities. This is just one of the barriers that Graupera says keeps people from getting a job.
“Language is an issue. If language and adult basic education is an issue, and if for some reason you had to go to work and are working at a low wage job, that’s a lot of barriers,” Graupera said.
