Webinar explains Workforce Expansion Initiative grant application

Organizers are hosting a webinar July 13 at 10 a.m. to walk through the Workforce Expansion Initiative grant application, a Facebook post said. The online session aims to give applicants guidance on the funding opportunity and answer participant questions.

The Workforce Expansion Initiative, referred to as WEI in the announcement, is intended to support workforce development efforts in communities. Such grants can help local organizations plan training, recruitment and retention activities, and other strategies to strengthen local labor markets.

The Facebook post included a registration link for the event on the Mississippi RHTP website at https://mississippirhtp.com/events/. The post said attendees will gain insights useful for preparing an application and have an opportunity to ask questions during the webinar.

Because details in the announcement were limited, organizers have not released additional information about speakers or the webinar agenda. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
