The U.S. Department of Labor recently announced $95.5 million in funding for 20 workforce training projects across 17 states. Why should you care? Because organizations receiving workforce development funding may need more than instructors. They may need complete training systems they can implement, including: - Workforce readiness and career development curricula - Leadership and professional development training - Digital skills and technology training - Industry-specific certification preparation - Train-the-trainer programs and implementation toolkits - Here's where licensing comes in: Instead of approaching an organization to teach a workshop, consider whether you can license a structured training solution that its staff can deliver repeatedly. Your assignment this week: 1. Review the funded projects and identify organizations serving an audience aligned with your expertise. 2. Research their training objectives, existing programs, and potential gaps. 3. Identify one product or system you already have—or could develop—that supports their goals. 4. Determine who oversees training, partnerships, or program implementation. 5. Develop a short introduction explaining how your solution could support their work. Important: Receiving a grant does not mean an organization is actively purchasing outside training. You'll need to verify its needs, procurement requirements, and partnership opportunities.
