The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) offers funding in collaboration with the Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) to state agencies under the Disability Employment Initiative. Approximately $20 million is available for states to enhance the workforce participation of individuals with disabilities. The grant aims to improve educational, training, and employment opportunities for unemployed and underemployed individuals with disabilities. Selected projects will focus on helping participants transition into the middle class through innovative service delivery by the public workforce system. Grants will be awarded for a three-year period to support these initiatives.

Eligibility

Eligible Applicants:: Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility:: Applicants must not have received DEI project funding in 2010 or 2011 Applicants must be the state WIA administrative agency, also know as the state workforce agency. Congress’ intent was that these funds be used to “improve the accessibility and accountability of the public workforce development system for individuals with disabilities.”(Appropriations Committee Senate Report 111-66 on H.R. 3292). Therefore, the state WIA administrative agency must not pass these funds through to any other entity for administration. As part of the application, states must identify local workforce areas that will be part of the DEI, for DOL to select via a lottery process as either pilot or control sites.

As discussed in Section I.B., where a state has at least four LWIBs, the state workforce agency must select at least two LWIBs that have the capacity to implement the state’s proposal under this SGA. If a state workforce agency chooses to select only two, only one of the sites will be selected via the modified site lottery to implement the DEI. The other site must function as a control group. States with a single workforce area may select at least two distinct areas within the state that can serve in the same roles as states with multiple LWIBs. Also, states with fewer than four LWIBs may select two of their LWIBs that can serve in the same roles as LWIBs in states with four or more LWIBs. In either case, DOL will score these applications on the same basis as those offering multiple LWIBs. All evaluation criteria, including the modified site lottery, will apply to these applications.
See SGA Section III for complete eligibility information.

Additional Information

Agency Name:: Employment and Training Administration
Description:: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), in coordination with Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), announces the availability of approximately $20 million for a third round of cooperative agreements to state agencies that administer the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. These funds provide an opportunity for states to develop and implement a plan for improving effective and meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in the workforce. DOL is using this funding to make six to ten grant awards designed to: 1) improve educational, training, and employment opportunities and outcomes of youth and adults with disabilities who are unemployed, underemployed, and/or receiving Social Security disability benefits; and 2) help these individuals with disabilities find a path into the middle class through exemplary and model service delivery by the public workforce system. The DOL will award DEI grants for a three-year period of performance.
