As the nation celebrates Labor Day and the American workforce, it is crucial to also think of ways to make this workforce even stronger. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>, the unemployment rate has decreased to 5.2 percent, which is 0.2 percentage points lower than in July. This is higher than unemployment before the pandemic, which was around 3.5 percent. The Jobs report also disappoints with only 235,000 positions added in August 2021 vs. expectations of 720,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job market is always changing and shifting. What skills people need can differ from year to year, leaving people struggling to adapt and stay a part of the workforce. Jobs that may have been a top market one year, could be replaced with another field the next. In order to keep the employed successful and help the unemployed find work, it is imperative people get the proper training for their field of choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workforce development can mean the ability for a worker to obtain a higher-paying job. By providing employees with training and education, it makes them more valuable in a company’s eye. GrantWatch<\/a> has a category dedicated to workforce-related grants<\/a>. These grants include funding for individuals to prioritize professional development, which will help improve the overall economy of the U.S. Included below are 10 of these grants that are currently available on GrantWatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
