The Teshinsky Family Foundation (TFF) is actively seeking proposals to support workforce training initiatives that prepare individuals for careers in manufacturing.

Direct involvement of employers in curriculum design and a track record of high placement rates in sustainable manufacturing careers with benefits are highly preferred indicators of effective programs. Expected outcomes and measurable results for this grant program include a high percentage of career placement for program graduates in sustainable manufacturing roles with benefits. The foundation is particularly interested in programs that can demonstrate long-term employment retention. This data-driven approach allows TFF to assess the effectiveness of funded programs and ensure that their investments are creating significant, lasting impact.
