To meet the talent attraction, development, and retention needs of strategic industries; to meet the needs of the underemployed and unemployed; and to develop career pathways that lead to sustainable wage jobs and support a thriving community.
Worksource Montgomery Inc directs its grantmaking toward building career pathways that lead to sustainable wage jobs, with a strong emphasis on workforce recovery, job training, youth employment, and services for unemployed and underemployed jobseekers. In the latest grant data, the foundation backed a wide range of local employers and training partners, including Asm Education Center Inc in Rockville, Md., which received $313,633 for training and workforce recovery, and Wanada Automobile Dealer in Washington, D.C., which received $160,177 for workforce recovery. The pattern shows a funder that uses grants to move people into work, support employee training, and strengthen the organizations that deliver those services. Its portfolio also includes participant wage support, supportive services, and capacity-building grants tied to Montgomery County’s workforce system. The largest awards sit alongside many smaller operating and program grants, suggesting a model that combines direct service funding with local infrastructure support. Recent grants also show attention to employers and training providers that can connect jobseekers to work experience, reskilling, and wage support within the county’s employment ecosystem.
