About WORC

WORC enables communities in the Appalachian, Delta, and Northern Border regions to propose projects that demonstrate the alignment of regionally driven, comprehensive approaches to addressing economic distress and the necessary workforce development activities to ensure a workforce capable of succeeding in current and future job opportunities. This opportunity is reviewed and funded by the Department of Labor (DOL) with post-award technical assistance provided by the applicant’s designated region. DOL’s FOA announced the availability of up to $44 million for grants with no match requirement to create economic prosperity and gainful employment opportunities for eligible residents of these regions, enabling them to remain and thrive in these communities.
