(a) There is established within the department of labor and industrial relations manpower development and training programs for the various industries in the State.

Where a need is indicated to overcome barriers to possible training, the department of labor and industrial relations, either on its own or in cooperation with the various departments and agencies of the state and county governments and private industry, may arrange for transportation, child care, health care and other aids to employment.
