Training and Work Experience Stipends Services

The Dane County government authority located in Madison, Wisconsin is seeking a vendor to provide training and work experience stipends services to local job seekers. The agency aims to increase the likelihood of participants successfully completing short-term vocational training or work experience and subsequently obtaining employment. To solve this challenge, the agency requires a system that tracks participation, administers payroll, and develops and maintains work experience sites. The selected partner must create a stipend schedule and eligibility process ensuring benefits are paid based on need, relate to probable long-term, full-time employment, and limit the benefit to once per individual. The scope of work requires the capacity to serve eligible county residents countywide, including individuals residing outside of the city of Madison, through accessible intake, communication, and payment processes. The agency is requesting proposals to establish a contract period that will run for one year. Eligibility rules dictate that the work must be performed onsite within the United States. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from interested parties. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 30, 2026.
