ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND — Marylanders hunting for job training now have a state search tool that officials say lists more than 900 programs, rolled out as new federal work rules tie food and health benefits to documented activity.
Gov. Wes Moore's Oct. 15 press release announces a job-training database, credited to Senate Bill 772, that covers adult education, career schools and workforce programs. Residents can search by location or industry, including hospitality, cyber and IT, construction and transportation, the release says. Results are supposed to include current contact information for training providers.
Labor Secretary Portia Wu said in the release that Marylanders need to "hold onto vital healthcare coverage and food assistance as they seek family-supporting jobs," and that job training and adult education are an essential part of that. The release ties the tool to new federal work requirements under H.R. 1. The release points readers to the Maryland Benefits page for job training and support, the Maryland Workforce Exchange for job listings, and Maryland's 33 American Job Centers.
SNAP customers are directed to the Department of Human Services' page on important SNAP changes. Medicaid members are told to keep Maryland Health Connection accounts current and to use a Medicaid check-in page ahead of work requirements that launch Jan. 1, 2027, the release says.
The American Job Centers are located in every region of Maryland and offer one-on-one support for job seekers, the release says.
