SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - A community college in Savannah has been awarded $4.8 million to help train more workers, including those who have lost jobs during the pandemic.
U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter said in a news release that Savannah Technical College is among community colleges nationwide receiving the federal grants.
