Oct. 21, 2021 - The CWDC is pleased to announce the grantees for the HB21-1264 Upskilling, Reskilling, and Next-skilling Workers Grant (RUN grant).

The funding intends to help these organizations support up to 1,200 individuals in earning an industry-recognized credential. A total of 10 grants were awarded ranging from $56,447 to $375,000.
