Maryland economic-development officials unveiled last week a four-year job-training program for economically disadvantaged workers.
Called Business Owners Start-Up Services, or BOSS, the program will provide training in business skills, information about business loans and technical assistance for qualified recipients, said J. Randall Evans, secretary of economic and employment development.
The program, aimed initially at Aid to Families with Dependent Children recipients in the Baltimore area, will enroll each client in a three-month training program.
