Open federal opportunities addressing workforce development programs (nonprofit-eligible)

Federal opportunities are listed nationally: a nonprofit in Maryland can apply to any of them, so this table is not filtered by state.

Matched against the full synopsis text of every posted opportunity, not the listing title alone; restricted to opportunities open to nonprofit applicants. Federal programs rarely use the phrase "workforce development"; this table also matches the agency vocabulary: workforce, job training, apprenticeship, reentry.
