Issued: April 14, 2022

The California Workforce Development Board (CWDB), in coordination with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, is pleased to announce the High Road Training Partnerships (HRTP) Resilient Workforce Fund (RWF) initiative. The goal of this initiative is to fund projects designed to promote income mobility and shared prosperity that prioritizes job quality, supports economic and climate resilience, and links low-income workers to better paying jobs.

Grant Proposal Submission Process

A new grant process was established for this initiative that allows prospective applicants to submit HRTP project proposals on a quarterly basis for funding consideration.  

The HRTP: RWF allows for greater flexibility, multiple grant application opportunities throughout the year, and up to three years of funding per grant. Proposals must be submitted quarterly via the Cal E-Grants portal and must be received on the first business day of each quarter (January, April, July, and October) by 5:00 p.m. for consideration. Applicants who submit a successful proposal will be invited to complete a full application.

Detailed information about the grant proposal process, available funding, and other requirements can be found on the HRTP: RWF webpage.  

For questions, contact the CWDB’s HRTP team at HRTP@CWDB.ca.gov. Please use “HRTP: RWF” in the email subject line.
