Workforce 2020 Program
Workforce 2020 helps address problems created by a mismatch between the skills needed by the region's manufacturing and industrial businesses, and the skills readily available in the labor force or among current employees. The goal of the program is to assist workers in attaining skills that enable them to earn a living wage while strengthening the region's economy by addressing long-term shortages and gaps in the availability of skilled labor to meet the needs of employers.
Workforce 2020 grants are not intended to supplant or support training and education services available through local sources. The grants are specifically targeted to bring in nationally-recognized experts to provide world-class training.
