The “Vocational
Education” Grant Index is a vital tool for
the educator in traditional K-20 classrooms, and for
the non-profit training coordinator. Keeping up with
the increasing call for welfare-to-work and work-readiness
programs can be difficult at best, and impossible
at worst, without funding assistance. Such programs
cut across all sectors, and encompass the need for
graduating skilled workers, retraining employees made
redundant by cutbacks, and helping displaced workers
meet such special challenges as employment that will
take them into retirement. Government and corporate
funded vocational education grants, seek to better
equip the workforce of the 21st century for the future.
The “Vocational
Education” Grant Index provides a look at
the funding available for technology skills training,
in K-12 programs, community colleges, universities,
colleges, and non-profit programs. Don’t miss
this opportunity to achieve your non-profit’s
training mission. Government or private grant support
found in the Index, can make the difference…to
you, and to those needing help to find their place
in the workforce.
