Multiple grants may be awarded per workforce hub region.
Eligible applicants are not-for-profit community-based providers with a history of serving low-wage or low-skilled workers or economically disadvantaged individuals. Community colleges and counties are excluded. Applicants must meet state registration and tax status requirements.
