Summary
This grant opportunity offers funding to support workforce training and employment services. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, public agencies, educational institutions, and community-based organizations with the capacity to deliver training programs. The funds may also support small businesses or industry associations that partner with training providers, though eligibility is typically limited to organizations rather than individual applicants. The intent of the funds is to help increase access to careers in skilled industries, build capacity for those facing employment barriers, and strengthen regional workforce systems. Uses may include development of training curricula, recruitment and support for participants from under-represented populations, coordination of training and placement services, provision of wrap-around supports, and establishment or expansion of pathways into in-demand sectors.
Applicants are encouraged to propose programs that demonstrate local relevance and measurable outcomes. Programs should emphasize engagement of underserved communities and illustrate sustainable programmatic structures. Grant awards vary in size depending on the specific funding stream and program, with some offerings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and others larger. Application deadlines and award schedules differ by program, and awarding frequency is program-specific, with some grants issued annually and others on a rolling or single-cycle basis.
