The City of Sioux Falls has created a Workforce Development Pilot Program to support activities, ideas, and initiatives related to the workforce challenges of our businesses, industries, and residents. The intent of the program is to provide funding to local entities which are well-positioned to use those funds to address workforce challenges in Sioux Falls.
As a pilot program initiated in 2015, a key objective is to explore new programs and activities to drive workforce growth and development. As such, the City intends to keep an open and flexible program to ensure many activities and concepts can be considered and implemented. Below are the primary areas of focus for awarding funding:
- Strategic Planning and Implementation;
- Attracting and Recruiting New Employees;
- Training and Re-Employment; and
- Education-Related Workforce Development
