This $46.03 million project grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration under the CFDA Economic Adjustment Assistance program aims to strengthen the economy of California's Central Valley region through workforce development partnerships. Led by the Fresno County Economic Development Corporation, the award unites employers in key industries like manufacturing, transportation/logistics, finance, and construction with workforce boards and training providers. It will place residents into high-quality jobs through pre-apprenticeships, registered apprenticeships, and bootcamp and individualized training pathways developed in collaboration with over a dozen sub-awardees. Services will also be tailored to underserved populations through a partnership with Unite Us to coordinate wraparound supports. The project is expected to run from September 2022 through September 2027.
