Community leaders hope a $20 million infusion will help equip students and workers with skills needed in high-tech manufacturing positions at northeast Indiana's defense contractors.

The Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne on Wednesday announced a $20 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to speed the development of the area's workforce. The program, dubbed Talent Opportunity Success 2015, will help fill the 4,000 defense jobs expected to be created in the next five years in the region.
