Melwood’s abilIT

In partnership with Cybrary, this 14-week training program consists of both technical training and professional and personal development. This innovative training is a culmination of over 60 years of Melwood’s success. The program’s design ensures that participants are equipped with both the technical know-how and soft skills necessary to join and succeed on any project team.

The abilIT program is funded in part by two Employment and Training Administration grants totaling $807,000 from the U.S. Department of Labor from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2025. These grants account for 65% of the costs associated with the program. The remaining 35% costs are covered by other public and private revenue streams.
