The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $16,614,000 Project Grant under the H-1B Job Training Grants program (CFDA 17.268) to Contra Costa County, a U.S. local government entity, on October 1, 2024. The grant 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. The grant focuses on creating career pathways, supporting diversity and inclusion, and addressing skills gaps in high-demand occupational areas. Contra Costa County, as a sub-awardee, will leverage this funding to deliver a diverse range of federally funded services aimed at supporting the well-being and quality of life of its aging population, including programs for nutrition services, supportive services, senior centers, disease prevention, and caregiver support.
