Re: Dissed-belief

Not sure if I understood the response to the info wrong or others have worngly inferred the award.
"H-1B HIGH GROWTH JOB TRAINING GRANTS"
I'm not for or against H1B...being a beneficiary of this...:-)
Now, coming to the grants...the money is collected from employers who employ H1B & then this is disbursed to encourage IT education/Job training in US.
