The Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas was awarded $800,000 as part of a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor in collaboration with the Midwest Urban Strategies partnership.
The grant will help the public workforce system increase its ability to assist individuals that have experienced a lay-off to gain the skills and knowledge they need to become competitive in the labor market.
Services provided will include Career Services, Training Services (both in-person and virtual), Support Services, and Subsidized Employment. Workforce Development Boards will facilitate job/employment fairs and support employers to find, train, and hire new workers.
Individuals from South Central Kansas who have been impacted by a layoff and are interested in retraining through this grant should inquire in person at any Workforce Center of South Central Kansas location, including Wichita, El Dorado, Wellington, or Ark City, or call 316-771-6800 or 877-509-6757.
