New York state is giving $10 million to 10 sites that aim to provide educational opportunities to students facing financial difficulties.
The 10 Educational Opportunity Center sites in New York, which are all branches of the SUNY system, provide adult training and development for underrepresented populations. Some of services that EOCs offer include Microsoft Office certifications, high school equivalency programs and construction training.
The $10 million grant is part of a larger plan to renovate the Syracuse EOC building, said Tim Penix, vice president of the Syracuse EOC. The grant will help set some of the renovations in motion, Penix said.
