Arkansas Workforce Development Grants

The objective of the Wisconsin Fast Forward (WFF) standard grant program is to award funds to businesses from all Wisconsin industry sectors that reimburse the costs of customized occupational training for unemployed, underemployed, and incumbent workers. The customized, business-driven training will qualify workers for full-time employment, higher level employment, or increased wages.

Idaho businesses that are training new workers or re-training existing employees may qualify for an Employer Grant. The intention behind the grant is to help spur economic activity, increase skills for workers, and integrate technology into the workforce, among other benefits.
