Subsidized Wages for On-the-Job Training

The Workforce Accelerator provides grants to Local Workforce Councils to help BIPOC business to participate in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and subsidize wages to train new employees while they work. This program aims to assist job seekers in acquiring the necessary skills and experience to secure long-term employment, and at the same time, help employers fill their workforce needs. The goal of providing these grants is to support the growth of BIPOC businesses related to the Biden administration's federal sustainability plan, including: clean energy, sustainable transportation, sustainable buildings, sustainable agriculture, and sustainable communities.
