Road to Careers Grant Program Launched by Maryland


Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has unveiled the Road to Careers grant program, a $24 million federal investment aimed at preparing workers for skilled careers in the transportation and construction sectors. Through a partnership with the Maryland Department of Labor, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), and the Federal Highway Administration, the program will provide workforce development grants to create a more competitive training environment for new workers in transportation construction trades.

The program, funded by federal transportation funding, will invest $4 million annually over six years to train electricians, welders, heavy equipment operators, construction workers, and other skilled trade workers in high demand. The focus is on serving Maryland women and job seekers facing barriers to employment, promoting pre-apprenticeships and registered apprenticeships to help connect participants directly to careers.

The initiative is part of Gov. Moore’s efforts to build a workforce that can compete for current jobs and future opportunities, supporting Marylanders in accessing work, wages, and wealth. The program aims to address the growing need for skilled workers in building the state’s transportation infrastructure, providing family-supporting, good-paying careers for Marylanders.
