Innovation Grants can fund projects that address local workforce development needs. Projects may provide skills training to individuals and/or assist individuals with connecting to careers.
New or enhanced training must address specific employer-identified skills gaps in the community; training cannot supplant or compete with current training opportunities. Training may include work-based learning opportunities, classroom training, or virtual training that addresses the skill gaps identified by employers in the community.
Assisting individuals to connect to careers may include providing information and outreach on career education and workforce training opportunities and/or soft skill development.
