Launch Ceremony for the Road to Careers Grant Program

Governor Wes Moore today announced the launch of the Road to Careers grant program, a multi-year $24 million federal investment to prepare workers for skilled careers in Maryland’s transportation and construction sectors. Leveraging federal transportation funding, the program will provide workforce development grants to make Maryland more competitive by training new workers in transportation construction trades. The program is focused on serving Maryland women and other job seekers who often face barriers to employment. Road to Careers will promote pre-apprenticeships and registered apprenticeships as means to overcome barriers to employment. Participants will receive on-the-job training and mentorship that will help connect them directly to careers.
