RFP 20-02 - Business Services: Announcement + Virtual Bidder's Conference
Announcement
Request for Proposals 20-02
Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA)
Business Services
On March 15, 2021, the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County (WDC) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the provision of business services within the WorkSource Seattle-King County system. Services will be funded in accordance with resources from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). See application and funding information.
This RFP represents an important step toward transforming the region’s workforce development system. In order to further the WDC’s regional equity and social justice goals, the WDC seeks to integrate more community-based service providers into the network of services that are available through the WorkSource Seattle-King County System. Proposals will be required to demonstrate how services will be provided to demographic groups that are traditionally underserved and concentrate on prioritizing job quality and jobs with career pathways embedded, regardless of the wage or level of experience required.
As we look towards procuring funds through this open, public RFP process, we are inviting local organizations to learn about goals for our workforce system, how to apply for this funding, and encourage partnerships to those ends.
