Laid Off Florida Mortgage Workers to Benefit from Grant

I just read a press release from the Department of Labor announcing a grant of over 1.6 million to be used to help laid off workers of Taylor, Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Corp. The grant will be used to retrain and/or help with job placement assistance for former workers of the company. The plan is to switch many of these workers to jobs in the health care and information technology industries. According to a flyer found on the Citrus Levy Marion Regional Workforce Development Board Inc. website, the help is for laid off workers of these 6 companies:

1. Taylor, Bean and Whitaker


2. Maslow Insurance Agency


3. Security One Valuation Services


4. Clear Title


5. Citrus Land and Title


6. REO Specialists

Workers of these companies may be eligible for:

• training scholarships


• support services


• relocation assistance


• employment-related assistance
