Local Area: Weld County
Released: May 1, 2024
Overview:
The Workforce Training Grant is an Initiative of the Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC). The
funds will be allocated to local Workforce Boards in two tranches with the bulk of the funding provided
beginning in May 2024. The remaining amount to be al ocated to local workforce areas will be determined
based on additional unused funds being returned to CWDC from other Innovation Programs. That tranche
will be determined and distributed no later than November 1, 2024. The period of Performance will be
from May 1, 2024 and end May 31, 2025.
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide eligible entities with a substantial infusion of
resources to meet pandemic response needs and rebuild a stronger, more equitable economy as the
country recovers. Within the categories of eligible uses, recipients have broad flexibility to decide how to
best use this funding to meet the needs of their communities provided those uses are allowable and
allocable per all federal and state laws and guidelines that have oversight of these funds.
NFA Aim:
The aim of this NFA is to support individuals in need of reskilling, up-skilling, and/or next-skilling. This
program offers broad flexibility to recipients to address local conditions. This includes providing assistance
to allow individuals to access and participate in short-term training to obtain an industry -recognized
credential.
Eligible Uses:
The determination for allowable costs and other relevant cost principles and standard topics follows OMB

through grants, cost reimbursement contracts, and other agreements with State and local governments
and federally -recognized Indian tribal governments (government units).

3. Related Technical Instruction (RTI)
