Independent initiative

The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment will receive $1.5 million through a cooperative agreement award from the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration. The award will support the provision of employment services and Wagner-Peyser funded activities from March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025 as part of the Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser Funded Activities program (CFDA 17.207).

As the designated state workforce agency, Colorado Department of Labor and Employment will deliver an array of employment services to job seekers and employers through this funding. Specifically, the department will connect individuals looking for employment with employers seeking job applicants. A variety of services will be made available to all individuals, including job placement assistance, labor market information, and referrals to training programs. The City of Lakewood is identified as a sub-awardee supporting delivery of these services at the local level.
