The Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration awarded a $47.86 million Project Grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307) to the Office of Workforce Strategy in Connecticut. Through this funding, the Strengthening Sectoral Partnerships Initiative will train and place thousands of workers, particularly from historically underserved communities, in high-demand jobs across four priority sectors: manufacturing, information technology, healthcare, and biomedice. More than 50 employer letters of commitment have been secured from partners like General Dynamics - Electric Boat, Yale New Haven Health, and Hartford Healthcare to design employer-led training systems. The grant will pursue a robust, statewide approach to connecting workers to good jobs through multiple sector partnerships with workforce boards and chambers of commerce serving as backbone organizations from across the state. The funding period is from September 15, 2022 through June 30, 2025.
