The Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) has launched the $17.8M High Road Training Partnership (HRTP) Fund. Supported by the American Rescue Plan Act and Care First Community Investment, the HRTP Fund offers $500K to $1M grants for cross-sector partnerships to design and deliver industry and worker-centered workforce training models that yield quality jobs and careers as well as equity and sustainability in the region.
Application Period: April 14 – May 11
We thank everyone who took the time to apply to the Fund. Applications are currently under review during May and June 2025, with grantees expected to be announced and onboarded in July 2025. We will continue to share updates and future funding opportunities for HRTPs, as needed, on the DEO HRTP Fund website: https://opportunity.lacounty.gov/hrtp/.
