This grant, offered by the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA), is for the critical purpose of supporting the National Dislocated Worker Program. This program aims to provide comprehensive assistance to workers who have been dislocated from their employment due to various economic reasons, such as mass layoffs, business closures, or other significant disruptions. The funding opportunity will facilitate training, career services, and supportive services designed to help these individuals gain new skills, secure sustainable employment, and successfully re-enter the workforce. It is an essential initiative to mitigate the impact of economic changes on American workers and communities. Interested parties should submit inquiries regarding this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) via email, and the deadline for applications is March 4, 2025.
