The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services recognizes the importance of an educated, skilled workforce in promoting Wyoming's economic growth. To foster this growth, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services assist employers with the Pre-Hire Economic Development Grant Program.

The Pre-Hire Economic Development Grant Program is designed to train skilled workers in a particular business, businesses or industry. Applications are completed through a partnering of four entities that contribute separate needs or services to the program:

• A training entity that can deliver the training, certificate or skills the business requires;
• A business, group of businesses or an industry with a need for workers;
• The local or regional economic development entity that will work within the local or regional economic network to provide assistance; and
• The local Workforce Center, which will assist in the recruitment of potential skilled workers, along with placement of trained participants.
