From Planning to Sustainability: Workforce Training Grant Resources

The Grant Lifecycle Framework provides a practical roadmap for managing a workforce training grant from initial program design through closeout and transition. Organized around five phases, it helps grantees identify what to plan, implement, monitor, and improve throughout the life of the grant.

A Field Guide to Staffing Workforce Grants helps grantees build a practical staffing approach for successful implementation. It outlines the core functions workforce training grants need, compares staffing models, and explains how staffing priorities and capacity needs may change across the grant lifecycle.

The Grant Implementation Templates package gives workforce training grantees adaptable tools for common implementation and grant management needs. The templates can help grantees establish clear expectations, coordinate with partners and participants, collect needed information, and support consistent documentation and reporting.

The Grant Sustainability Action Guide helps workforce training grantees plan for lasting impact beyond the grant period. It provides a structured approach for deciding what to sustain and developing practical strategies related to programs and practices, staffing, partnerships, financial resources, and storytelling.

The Participant Support Lifecycle helps workforce training grantees understand participants’ training journeys and identify points where they may disengage. Through a structured four-step process, grantees can align program milestones with metrics, examine loss points and barriers, identify participant-centered supports, and plan targeted improvements.
