Turning Workforce Funding Opportunities into Employer Success
Building on the themes from my recent Community Magazine article, “Unlocking Workforce Potential: Beyond Federal Dollars,” this webinar will unpack how employers across the U.S. can access a range of underutilized funding opportunities to support training and apprenticeship programs. We’ll explore how national, state, and private resources can be braided to offset costs, expand training capacity, and build sustainable talent pipelines.
While we’ll highlight recent examples—like the newly awarded Employment Training Panel (ETP) contract that supports California employers—our focus will be national, offering employers a practical roadmap for identifying, combining, and leveraging diverse funding sources to maximize workforce development impact.
This is a must‑attend online event for Training Managers, Learning & Development Directors, HR Managers, Workforce Development Coordinators, Grants Managers, and Administrators.
