YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown State University, through its Center for Workforce Education and Innovation, plans to use part of $5 million from General Motors to invest in programs and services that zero in on inclusion and equality to best serve the unemployed and underemployed.
Some of the money also will be spent on the creation of the YSU Energy Storage Innovation and Training Center to support emerging technology industries in the Mahoning Valley by helping provide a capable workforce.
