Federal Funding Disclosure (Stevens Amendment)
As part of the County of Ventura, the WDBVC receives state and federal funds to administer job training and employment programs throughout the Ventura County region. We also receive competitive grants to administer innovative workforce programs. Our programs enable eligible youth and adults to develop the skills and knowledge needed to meet the needs of Ventura County’s employers. We also have programs specifically designed to serve employers.
Potential bidders must register in the system (or log in if already registered) to review full RFPs and submit a proposal at https://ventura.bonfirehub.com.
The Stevens Amendment is a federal law found in H.R. 6157 that requires funding information to be included on all projects or programs using federal funds. It is intended to provide transparency for taxpayers and ensure federally funded research and work are properly credited.
