Workforce Grants

A skilled workforce is essential to growing our economy and attracting more jobs. 

North Carolina supports workforce development through a variety of grant programs that benefit workers, employers and communities.

These grants often connect businesses with training resources that upskill their employees, so they can better respond to industry needs. This training helps businesses compete and succeed while offering new opportunities for employees to advance.
