The Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) announces the availability of approximately $2,000,000 in state Reemployment funds to support the Future Works Grant. Four grants, up to $500,000 each, will be competitively awarded to four Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs). The purpose of this initiative is to strengthen workforce development services for new or expanding businesses, ensuring that these businesses and their employees have the support needed to succeed in Pennsylvania’s economy. The Future Works Grant aligns with Governor Shapiro’s Ten‑Year Strategic Plan for Economic Development by advancing coordinated efforts between workforce development and economic development partners. Awarded LWDBs will collaborate with employers and stakeholders to build a skilled talent pipeline, support job quality, and help businesses meet early workforce needs that contribute to long‑term stability. Projects funded through this grant must directly support businesses in achieving their workforce development goals so that both the business and its employees can succeed.
