WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently launched a new online tool that will allow current and prospective healthcare workers to explore more than 80 occupations, identify local education and training programs and tap into current job listings.
Through the Virtual Career Network (VCN) users also can learn how previous experience such as military or on-the-job training can be applied toward a healthcare career, take free online courses and find sources for financial aid.

It's a hot Sunday morning in Oliver, a blighted
Baltimore neighborhood, and Dave Landymore is filthy. Two decades of basement dust cling to his jeans as the former Marine platoon sergeant hauls boxes of old baby things down the sidewalk to a giant dumpster.
They come from a house on Holbrook Street, known here as "Hellbrook." Once a feared hub of the city's drug trade, it has been Carolyn Lawson's home as she raised three children and cared for seven grandchildren. Now, though she struggles to walk, she is desperate to stay in her house. But it needs urgent repairs that the city won't make under a weatherization program until her basement is emptied of decades' worth of storage.
