What is The Recompete Pilot Program?

Recompete is a grant-funded program from the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) that invests in economically distressed areas where prime-age (25-54 years) employment is significantly lower than the national average. The goal of the program is to close this gap with flexible, locally-driven investments to create new good paying jobs ($26+ per hour in our area). The strategy includes workforce training opportunities to equip people with the skills needed for in-demand jobs, strengthening industries to support job creation, and providing wraparound services to ensure a successful transition into a meaningful career. 

Of over 500 applicants nationwide, the North Olympic Peninsula Recompete Coalition (NOPRC) was one of six grant recipients. The opportunities provided by Recompete have the potential to not only connect individuals to good local jobs in the short-term, but to revitalize the economy and job market on the North Olympic Peninsula, leaving lasting positive impacts on the region beyond the life cycle of the grant.
