The Bay Area Workforce Development Board was recently awarded an initial $107,000.00 grant from the WI Department of Workforce Development to directly assist recently and soon-to-be permanently laid-off retail sector employee’s transition to new employment and/or enroll in an approved high-demand industry technical college training program. In addition to accessing a wide range of basic and individualized career services, eligible participants may receive up to $15,000.00 per person for college tuition and up to $15,000.00 per person in supportive services (transportation assistance, childcare, etc.). Individual amounts may differ, based on a needs analysis. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact their closest American Job Center and request to speak to a Dislocated Worker Career Services Specialist to learn more and begin the eligibility determination and enrollment process.
