This $2,077,362 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the WIOA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Demonstration Grants program (CFDA 17.280) supports the Southern Vermont Workforce Center of Excellence (WFCOE) project.
The WFCOE project aims to create economic mobility, address historic inequities, and produce high-quality employment outcomes for underserved populations in the Appalachian, Delta, and Northern Border regions, including dislocated workers, incumbent workers, and new workforce entrants in Vermont's Windham, Bennington, and Windsor counties. Key activities include expanding access to good jobs in healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and skilled trades through strategic programs and building a regional workforce system. The project is expected to serve 300 participants, with 150 obtaining new or enhanced employment. A sub-award to Southeast Vermont Transit will support enhancing workforce transportation access in the target region.
