HARTFORD, Conn. - Companies both big and small stand to gain from Gov. Dannel Malloy's jobs bill, which passed the state legislature with almost unanimous support. The $626 million in bond funding will support a variety of programs.

The new law is expected to be among the topics at a League of Women Voters of Connecticut forum about workforce development on Dec. 3, to be held at the University of Connecticut School of Social Work, West Hartford. Catherine Smith, who heads the Department of Economic and Community Development,  will be one of the speakers.  

Information on the forum, "Back in Business: Workforce Development for Connecticut's Economic Future," is available at www.lwvct.org/events.html
