Gov. Mike Beebe says 43 career coaches will be placed in high schools to assist students and thousands of dollars in financial aid will be available under a new workforce education program.

Beebe on Monday announced the expansion of Arkansas Works, a program to coordinate education, training and economic development in communities around the state.

Beebe unveiled the College and Career Planning System, an online resource aimed at helping Arkansans find jobs that fit their interests and businesses find qualified candidates.

Beebe also said that up to $8,000 in financial aid may be available to help pay for career training and education.

"I've used the phrase it's like a farm club for a major league team,why are we educating our students and then sending them to Chicago, LA,MY, that's basically our tax dollars going to help those communities,"said Gov. Mike Beebe.

This expanded program is being paid for with federal dollars. For more information go to www.arworks.arkansas.gov
