Award Summary:

Funds are being used to implement the Step Up for Recovery Workforce Project, expanding career training and credentialing opportunities for individuals in recovery and re-entry programs across Region 4. This investment supports structured career exploration, hands-on skills training, and stackable credentials in high-demand trades such as construction, manufacturing, and equipment operation. Resources fund virtual learning tools, mobile simulation equipment that brings training directly into recovery centers and correctional settings, and individualized career coaching and re-entry planning. By reducing barriers to employment and connecting participants to sustainable, high-wage career pathways, the initiative strengthens long-term recovery, financial stability, and community reintegration.
