About WAI

This initiative serves individuals whose employment has not returned since the beginning of the pandemic, as well as those whose work or job search was impacted by the pandemic. We use grant funds to bridge young adults to careers through subsidized employment, subsidize wages for pre-apprentice work crews, subsidize wages for re-entry populations engaged in work-release programs, augment traditional on-the-job training engagements with technical skills training, and integrate compensated digital literacy work-and-learn interface in those strategies.
