These H-1B technical skills training grants seek to provide high level training to employed and unemployed workers to fill jobs in occupational areas where there have been skill shortages, and for which employers have sought workers under visas. The grants are supported by user fees paid by employers seeking high skilled foreign workers under the H-1B visa program.
