It should not be a surprise that the way we honor the ‘labor’ force on Labor Day is to give many workers the day off. While the break is a great way to say thank you to these hard workers, it is important that the recognition does not stop there. Rather than just talking about the value of a solid and committed workforce, it is imperative to ensure additional workforce funding is available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workforce development can mean the chance for a worker to obtain a higher-paying job. Providing employees with training and education makes them more valuable in a company\u2019s eyes.\u00a0GrantWatch has a category specifically for workforce-related funding<\/strong><\/a> with more than 1,400 grants currently accepting applications. With GrantWatch, you can also find a\u00a0list of\u00a0 200 foundations<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that have funded workforce development in the past. Today, GrantWatch is sharing 10 of the top workforce grants available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Labor Day primarily focuses on workers, it’s also a time to appreciate the idea of community and the role our neighbors play in our lives. Our communities are built and sustained by the hard work of countless individuals in various sectors. From teachers who educate our children to healthcare workers who keep us healthy, from police officers and other first responders who ensure our safety to the farmers who feed us, every occupation plays a vital role. Whether you work in an office, a factory, a restaurant, or even from your home, you are an important part of society and are appreciated immensely. GrantWatch wants to thank all of you on this Labor Day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
