Work Ready Skills board meets Fri 18 Nov 2016 to select finalists Committee plans to award up to $65M statewide by the end of December. Adair County's Learning Center/Central Office project, other 7-County area projects await decision in Frankfort. By Woody Maglinger From Gov. Matt Bevin and Commonwealth of Kentucky Education & Workforce Development Cabinet, Hal Heiner Secretary FRANKFORT, KY (Nov. 17, 2016) - The Work Ready Skills Advisory Committee, formed to review and select project proposals for the Commonwealth's new $100 million workforce bond program, will meet at 8amCT/9amET on Friday, November 18, 2016, at the offices of the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet, 300 Sower Blvd., Frankfort, KY, 1st Floor, Training Room A. Announced by Governor Matt Bevin and Education and Workforce Development Cabinet Secretary Hal Heiner in July, the Kentucky Work Ready Skills Initiative is aimed at developing a highly trained, modernized workforce to meet the needs of employers and promote sustainable incomes for Kentuckians. The committee plans to award up to $65 million during this year's initial funding round and to reserve at least $35 million for a second application cycle in 2017. After receiving 117 pre-applications totaling nearly $565 million in requests, the committee initially met in September and chose to invite 91 local applicants to submit comprehensive proposals for first-round funding consideration. Eighty-three full applications, totaling more than $460 million in requests, were received by the Oct. 19 submission deadline. Individual project funding requests ranged from $40,000 - $28 million. Proposals came from all 10 state workforce areas and addressed a wide array of key industry sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, technology, transportation, and construction/trades. The 10-member Work Ready Skills Advisory Committee has also scheduled meetings for Dec. 14 and 15, where they plan to conduct interviews with select finalists for whom they would like additional information. The committee's goal is to make first-round funding announcements before the end of the year. Friday's meeting is open to the public, and individuals with disabilities may request reasonable accommodations by calling 502-564-0372. It will also be live streamed on the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet's YouTube channel (https://goo.gl/gkZx6b). This story was posted on 2016-11-17 10:37:13
