Job Training grant FAQ
Who funds job training programs?
Job Training programs are funded by the same workforce ecosystem as the rest of the field: the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration and other federal agencies, the state workforce agencies that administer and sub-grant federal WIOA funds, and private and community foundations. Some funders run dedicated lines; many fund this work through broader workforce and employment programs.
What can job training grants pay for?
Funding for job and skills training programs — occupational and vocational training, WIOA-funded services, upskilling, and career-pathway programs — for workforce boards, training providers, community colleges, and job-training nonprofits. Typical eligible costs include staff and instructor time, curriculum and equipment, participant supportive services, employer engagement, and program operations for workforce boards, training providers, community colleges, and workforce nonprofits.
How do I find job training grants I'm eligible for?
Eligibility depends on your organization type, your location, and the funder's priorities. Browse the open opportunities below, or run your organization's profile through FindGrants to see the job training and workforce grants you qualify for right now, ranked by fit.
