Education and Training Scholarships
"The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you!"
~ B.B. King ~
The primary funding for CSS WFNY comes from the Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. This grant aims to provide training and employment opportunities for adults, youth, and dislocated workers. As the administrative body and main funding source, CSS WFNY acts as the umbrella organization for a multi-agency partnership. Your training could be partially funded by WIOA or other funding sources, depending on the eligibility determination for individuals or businesses. CSS WFNY is dedicated to seeking alternative grant funding to fulfill our mission: "To make our region an employer's location of choice by fostering a workforce that is highly employable, motivated, and committed to individual growth and skill development through lifelong learning."
The Individual Training Accounts (ITA) Program is intended to offer financial support directly to training providers for individuals who require classroom training or online learning. This assistance aims to help them acquire skills that enhance their employment prospects in locally demanded occupations.
