Workforce Solutions is happy to support proposals for grants for external funding when these proposals are consistent with the Board’s mission. In all cases, the Board staff will make every effort to provide letters of support for these proposals.

In some cases, such as grant opportunities that specifically require an endorsement from the Board, Board staff may need additional time to prepare letters. For that reason, please notify Board staff as soon as possible of your intention to apply.
