The City & County of Denver's Office of Economic Development received a $13,750,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the H-1B Job Training Grants program (CFDA 17.268). The funding will support the development, implementation, and scaling of worker-centered sector strategy training programs that prepare workers for middle- to high-skilled jobs in advanced manufacturing, information technology, professional services, and critical infrastructure sectors. Key initiatives include creating career pathways, supporting diversity and inclusion, and addressing skills gaps in high-demand occupational areas. The Office of Economic Development collaborates with sub-awardees like the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, nonprofits, housing developers, and economic development organizations to deliver workforce development and job training services aimed at economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
