The federal government has made $3.3 million in grants to local programs that will pay for job training for 1,000 workers, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other local officials announced Wednesday.

The Workforce Investment Act grants will go to job training programs in eight sectors, including entertainment, construction, financial services, health care and green technology. The grants supplement existing city, state and federal money.

“By partnering with local industries on workforce training, we are preparing people for the high growth, high wage jobs of the future,” Villaraigosa said at a press conference at CBS Studios in the Fairfax district.

CBS Studios is a partner in the entertainment careers training program, along with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Hollywood Cinema Production Resources, Live Nation, Fox Entertainment Group, NBC Universal and Warner Brothers Entertainment.

The goal of the entertainment careers training program is to place trainees into union jobs sponsored by Iatse and into entry level employment positions.
