Subject: [Libs-Or] Grant opportunity: Workforce Development Partnership Grants

The State Library is announcing its Workforce Development Partnership Grants<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/lstagrants/workforce> program to provide small grants to fund library collaborations with local WorkSource offices<https://www.worksourceoregon.org/contact#centers>, workforce development agencies, or community organizations.

In these challenging times, libraries can be better positioned to support job seekers and those seeking to develop more diverse workforce skills when they partner with organizations that are also working with these groups.

With a short application<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/ld.php?content_id=63869634> and brief reporting requirements, this grant program offers libraries the opportunity to request up to $5,000 to support collaborations with the purchase of

  *   laptop or desktop computers (See requirements<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/lstagrants/cipa>)
  *   supporting equipment (scanner, printers, cameras, microphones)
  *   services (trainers/speakers)
  *   supplies (promotional materials, paper, ink cartridges, software or workstation furniture/equipment for ADA compliance)

The application period will be open until December 17, 2021 or until grant funds have been exhausted. Grant applications will be reviewed as they are received and applicants will be notified within 2 weeks of submission whether they are awarded funding.

For more details and link to apply, see: https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/lstagrants/workforce

This program is part of the State Library's strategic initiative to assist libraries as they enhance and grow workforce development programming and activities. If you have ideas about other ways the State Library can support libraries in this area, please contact me.
