    long-term objective of maintaining business and industry
    in this State and attracting new businesses and industries
    to this State.
        (3) The program must be operated for a period of 3
    years.
    The program is encouraged to use the highly successful
Alabama Industrial Development Training program as a model for
guidance and direction.
    (b) The State Board is authorized to administer the mobile
response workforce training pilot program in conjunction with
current programs and grants and in cooperation with other State
