Has your organization developed an innovative way to help individuals develop workforce skills? The Benton-Franklin Workforce Development Council wants to hear from you. 

The local council has issued two Requests for Information, or RFIs, to connect with organizations in the region interested in providing services for adult, dislocated and youth workers through the federally-funded Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. 

Qualified applicants include community-based organizations, educational institutions, nonprofit agencies and public entities that have effective and emerging workforce services delivery models, innovative practices and explore forward-thinking technologies and trends in workforce development. 

“Together, we can strengthen our workforce, support local employers, and create pathways to family-sustaining careers throughout our region,” the council said in a statement.
