Project BUILD SWFL, the Naples-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth through education, training and employment opportunities, has received a $620,000, three-year Department of Labor Growth Opportunities Grant. The grant was facilitated through FHI 360, a North Carolina-based nonprofit that mobilizes resources, research and relationships to create opportunities for people in underserved communities in more than 60 countries around the world.
“We are thrilled to be part of this transformative opportunity,” said Aram Wheatley, President and CEO of Project BUILD SWFL. “This grant will enable us to further our commitment to building a stronger and more resilient workforce in Southwest Florida. We’re grateful to the Department of Labor and FHI 360 for their support and partnership.”
Wheatley said the grant will help Project BUILD SWFL expand its youth job training programs, which include forklift certification, OSHA certification and basic construction training.
“Through this grant, Project BUILD SWFL aims to create lasting, positive effects on the lives of youth in the community, fostering a cycle of growth and opportunity that will benefit the entire region,” Wheatley said.
