Why Participate

Why Employers Use Workforce Development Grants

  • Offset Training Costs

    Receive reimbursement for eligible expenses related to employee training—up to 100% in some cases, but typically 50-90% and usually based on company size.

  • Improve Workforce Skills

    Equip your team with the tools they need to take on more responsibility, adapt to new technologies, or shift roles.

  • Boost Retention & Morale

    Employees who feel invested in stay longer and perform better.

  • Strengthen Your Business

    Build workforce readiness, strengthen cybersecurity capabilities, and develop in-demand technical skills without carrying the full training investment internally.

  • Continued Support

    QuickStart follows up to ensure your training plan stays on track and delivers the intended impact. Free skills assessments and career development mapping pathways are available through QuickStart iQ — so the outcomes your grant requires are measured continuously, not just at completion.
