Effective processes lead to innovative programs.
Workforce Institute (WI) offers a strategic and comprehensive training on grants management. As the lead agent of multiple grant funded projects, including Silicon Valley Career Pathways (SVCP), WI has gained the knowledge and expertise to effectively manage large and small grant projects. SVCP was a four-year grant project of $19.2M with the purpose of building regional career pathways from kindergarten through grade 14. With WI as the lead agent, SVCP served 52,424 students and was recognized by the Community College Future Assembly receiving the 2019 National Bellwether award in the category of Planning, Governance, and Finance.
