Specifications include, but are not limited to: Maricopa County (County) intends to contract with multiple professional training providers who are active on Arizona’s State Eligible Training Provider List to provide in-person six-to-twelve-week training programs for Maricopa County (County) youth and adult job seekers in the rural communities of Gila Bend, Wickenburg, and Queen Creek for the County’s Workforce 2 You Program (Program). The Program is intended to improve access to training programs that provide participants industry recognized credentials upon completion. Program components include in-person training, supported testing if required for credentialing, and direct coordination with the County staff for career placement post-completion of the Program. Recognizing training providers may not have the capacity to administer cost-reimbursement grants, the County encourages consortia proposals that collectively have the programmatic, fiscal, and administrative capacity to successfully operate the proposed Program.
