MAX ALERT: U.S. Department of Labor Announces Expansion of Training Grants for Community Colleges

July 9, 2020

From the U.S. Department of Labor:

The U.S. Department of Labor announced the availability of $40 million in Strengthening Community Colleges Training Grants to expand community colleges’ ability to meet labor market demand for a skilled workforce.

Community colleges are essential partners of the public workforce system for retraining the workforce and building a pipeline of workers in healthcare, logistics, cybersecurity and other industries. The Strengthening Community Colleges Training Grants aim to address the skill development needs of employers and to support workers in gaining skills and transitioning quickly from unemployment to employment. The grants also build the capacity of community colleges to address challenges associated with the coronavirus health crisis, such as expanding online and technology-enabled learning, and migrating services to a virtual environment.
