The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development received a $14.66 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) under the WIOA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Demonstration Grants program (CFDA 17.280), effective October 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029. This award supports a pilot and demonstration project designed to develop and implement innovative workforce training models and employment services for dislocated workers, incumbent workers, and new entrants to the workforce across Wisconsin.

The grant funds comprehensive workforce development activities including career counseling, job training, employment placement assistance, skills development in critical occupations, and wraparound supportive services. The project will test specialized methods and approaches to address employment and training needs across diverse industries, with broad flexibility in training delivery across multiple sectors. The demonstration project is designed to generate outcomes and lessons learned that may inform broader workforce development practices at the national level, with performance activities occurring at the grantee location and partner institutions throughout Wisconsin's service area.
