DRA released the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on September 21, 2023, to solicit applications for grants under the 2024 Delta Workforce Grant Program (DWP). DWP supports projects and initiatives that create a more vibrant economic future for the Delta and Alabama Black Belt regions by expanding opportunities to recruit, train, and retain a diverse and local workforce, aligning workforce and economic development strategies, creating sustainable talent pipelines, establishing or enhancing locally and regionally significant sector-based partnerships, and supporting enhanced workforce productivity through investments in innovative programming or services. The deadline for submitting a proposal is Thursday, December 21, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. CST.

The purpose of the DWP Pre-Award TA Workshop is to provide attendees:

• A comprehensive overview of the FOA to help develop competitive applications.

• An introduction to DRA’s grants management system and a thorough overview of the application and submission process.

Additional information about DWP can be found at Workforce – Delta Regional Authority (dra.gov) for more information and resources.
