The U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and Training Administration awarded a $800,000 Project Grant to the San Diego Workforce Partnership Inc. (SDWP) under the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending program (CFDA 17.289). The grant, with a performance period from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2026, supports SDWP's workforce development initiatives, particularly in the cybersecurity sector. SDWP, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, will use the funds to develop training programs for entry-level cybersecurity positions and provide employment services to underserved populations. This award complements SDWP's other recent federal grants, including a $511,777 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and a $1.7 million Dislocated Worker Grant from the DOL for COVID-19 employment recovery. Through these initiatives, SDWP aims to upskill workers, foster inclusivity in high-demand sectors, and address critical workforce needs in the San Diego region.
