    Job-training program fizzles BY JENNIFER EDWARDS, Cincinnati Enquirer, OH
    A month after Butler County made a splashy announcement about starting a worker-training program to help Americans get jobs allegedly being taken by illegal immigrants, officials are mothballing the program because of low participation.

    In the past three weeks, just 11 workers signed up for what would have been a 12-week, $2,400-per-student program to be offered through Butler Tech.

    None of them will be trained, however, because the program ran into problems.
