Stronger Teams. Happier Workplaces. Zero Hassle.
Elevate your team with training programs tailored to your specific needs, fully funded through grants, with minimal effort on your part.
What’s Holding You Back?
As a leader, you understand the value of investing in your employees. Great training boosts retention, improves efficiency, and drives growth. But where do you start if funding is limited?
Every year, companies like yours receive grant funding to support employee development. The Minnesota Job Skills Partnership has allocated $5 million in grants for 2025 and $5 million for 2026. However, navigating the complex grant process can feel overwhelming, and creating a customized training program takes significant time and effort.
Don’t let these challenges stand in your way! Together, we will make it happen.
Working with Seanay on a project to secure and manage training grants has been an exceptional experience. Seanay is phenomenal to work with—her extensive connections, deep knowledge, and genuine commitment to her clients set her apart. She takes the time to educate you throughout the process, ensuring that every step is clear and tailored to your needs. What truly stands out is how much she genuinely cares about our people, our business, and our success. I highly recommend Seanay to anyone looking for a trusted partner who delivers expertise and results.

Hi, I’m Seanay
Helping people learn and grow has always been my passion. I started my career in Human Resources and quickly realized that employee development was where I could make the biggest impact. As Director of Learning & Development, I built three employee academies from the ground up so learning would never stop at any level of the organization.
Along the way, I took on grant management, turning a misunderstood funding source into a powerful tool for workforce training. I developed a long-term strategy that helped secure substantial funding and created meaningful change within the company.
I truly loved the work, but I wanted to drive real impact without the corporate barriers, so I stepped out on my own. Now, I help businesses invest in their employees by designing customized training programs and securing grant funding to bring them to life.
My mission is simple: to make employee development accessible, effective, and fully funded…
without the hassle.
More Than Just Training… A Lasting Impact
What sets me apart as a trainer is my deep investment in your business. When I deliver training, I’m not just showing up with a generic program—I’ve taken the time to understand your company, your culture, and your employees’ unique challenges. That means I can speak their language and make the training relevant so it sticks.
In just four months or less, your company can have a fully funded, customized training program. From there, I help you turn learning into lasting change through real application. Along the way I’ll be equipping managers and directors with key questions to spark discussion as the training is implemented into productivity. This way, training isn’t just a one-time event, it becomes part of your company’s ongoing growth.
Seanay looks at the big picture and is thoughtful about creating holistic employment development plans to ensure that employees are well-trained and equipped both professionally and personally. As an outside trainer, Seanay is easy to work with and can be counted on to set the stage for a successful training session. Her communication skills are excellent and her passion for helping others reach their potential is obvious in everything she does.

I get it. Between daily demands and endless opportunities, it can be overwhelming to know where to start when it comes to developing your team. But the truth is, you already have the answers, you just need the right questions to bring them to the surface.
My role is to help you clarify your vision, uncover what’s driving your goals, and identify the best path forward. By looking at your company’s initiatives, department goals, culture, and values, we can define what success looks like. Then, through thoughtful conversations with you and your team, we’ll pinpoint what’s missing and where blind spots may be holding you back.
This process isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about cutting through the noise and discovering the most effective way to invest in your employees and your company’s future.
Design
Once we’ve defined your vision for the next 1, 3, and 5 years, I design a training program that aligns with your mission and sets your team up for long-term success.
We start with a short-form grant, focusing on the most critical training gap over 12 months. This allows us to make an immediate impact while laying the groundwork for your bigger goals. From there, we build out a strategic plan to support your long-term vision, making sure every step moves you closer to where you want to be.
But it doesn’t stop there! I continuously review and refine the program to remain effective and aligned with your evolving goals so your employees keep growing, and your company keeps moving forward.
Fund
Once we’ve designed your training program, we move into grant preparation—but don’t worry, it’s not as daunting as it sounds.
I partner with an expert grant writer who has done this countless times and knows exactly how to craft a winning application that meets all the requirements. Your role? Simply answer a few questions about your company’s history, provide some basic demographic information, and review the final grant to ensure everything is accurate.
That’s it! I make the process as smooth as possible so you can secure the funding you need without the stress.
Deliver
Once the grant is approved, the final details take about two months to process, and the funds are transferred to the college, which handles all trainer payments, so you don’t have to worry about the administrative side of things.
During this time, we’ll build a rollout plan to integrate the training while supporting your company’s initiatives. My goal is to ensure a smooth, effective launch that maximizes impact while minimizing disruptions to your day-to-day operations.
