Kansas Funds Public Radio for Rural Workforce

Kansas is pouring $500,000 into public broadcasting to boost rural workforce development through a new grant program called WorKS. Five stations—High Plains Public Radio, Kansas Public Radio, KMUW, KTWU, and PBS Kansas—each receive $100,000 to create content spotlighting job opportunities, remote work, and tech trends in underserved areas. Led by Lt. Governor David Toland, the initiative aims to inspire economic growth, bridge digital skills gaps, and showcase Kansas’s innovation beyond its urban centers, directly tackling workforce shortages in rural communities.
