Crystal Mersh talks about her group trying to get a grant but did not get it but then they found the grant from the department of labor and they had 8 days to get the grant done. She pulled everyone together and they actually got it done a couple days before deadline. They were awarded $5.7 million dollars to help train people in the rural areas in jobs that will help them make better money. Part of the grant also let's people take the classes while still getting paid.
