ORONO — Pairing up to change the way people look at jobs and look for jobs across the country, Orono software developer Trefoil and the Bucksport-based Training and Development Corp. have received a $278,000 grant to help develop a federal electronic occupational information system called O-NET.

Still years away from completion, the O-NET will contain extensive data on occupations, skills and abilities necessary for the jobs and pay, and availability of the positions.
