Opportunity Now Colorado to provide funding for regional collaborations that strengthen talent development across the state. Governor Polis and the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) recently announced a new grant program: Opportunity Now Colorado. The grant program is designed to help communities across Colorado create and expand innovative workforce and talent development initiatives. The program’s goal is to help connect more Coloradans with in-demand, high-skill, high-wage occupations. “Our administration is committed to creating opportunities for Coloradans to get the skills they need to build careers they love,” said Governor Polis. “We’re excited about the collaborative effort between the education and business communities, the opportunities that this new grant program will provide, and how the grants will help build our workforce, create jobs, and retain homegrown talent.” Across the state, employers are looking to hire the top talent that Colorado is known for, yet job openings have outpaced new hires. In June 2022, there were 208,000 job openings and 129,000 hires, a difference of nearly 38%. Opportunity Now Colorado, established by HB22-1350, was created to help Coloradans develop the skills and experience they need to apply for and secure these job opportunities.
