Am I reading this right? I hope not. Link - California is paying a security dealer/integrator for personalized manufacturer training, business skills, computer skills, and self improvment on a yearly basis for a couple hundred thousand plus?
This security dealer/integrator is the most successful independent dealer in the U.S. and if I'm not mistaken, its family company is a Medical Alarm company and is one of the leading medical device monitoring companies in the nation. The company also owns central stations.
Please tell me I'm confused and this is not what it means. If they are getting "big" state money for this training, I hope they do not cross state lines and compete with businesses who have to put the cost of training into their quotes. And if they get this money, is it fair for them to compete on state jobs? Thoughts on state training $'s?
