The Board’s 2025 grants were reported for job training. Its grantees include organizations with varied workforce-related missions. For example, Private Industry Council Inc. says it works on workforce development through early childhood development, employment and training, education, and business services. Fayette County Community Action says it provides programs to help low-income individuals gain skills, knowledge, and motivation for self-sufficiency. Keystone Development Partnership describes its work as developing labor-management partnerships and workforce solutions.
