SB County wins 16 awards

Programs and services created by San Bernardino County received a record 16 achievement awards from the National Association of Counties, according to a news release.  "The Workforce Development Department realized there was an untapped potential for clients in need of work-force training ... (and) stepped outside their traditional scope of assignment and marketed their training services to several other departments, and have provided job skills workshops," the release said.  The department was also awarded for its Dispatcher Training Program, in conjunction with BNSF Railway, for helping place 14 students in railroad dispatch jobs.
