The Regional Talent Development Initiative Grant Program - now Opportunity Now Colorado Grants – is an $85 million grant program creating transformative change for Colorado's workforce. These grants have been awarded, and applications are now closed. Opportunity Now Colorado Grants allows Colorado to fund both new and proven programs that “seed transformative change” specifically through intentional alignment and collaboration between Colorado’s secondary, post-secondary, and workforce ecosystems focused on enhancing the economic mobility of Colorado’s learners and earners and thereby helping Colorado’s communities recover from COVID-related economic disruption. Enacted by HB22-1350, the program seeks innovative solutions to meet Colorado’s workforce needs through industry and education collaboration.
