New Funding Opportunity for Programs Serving Youth and Young Adults. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration has released a solicitation for applications for competitive grants to help young adult offenders and high school dropouts in high-poverty, high-crime communities prepare for the workforce. All core elements of Transitional Jobs programs may be supported using these funds.
Funded programs must contain all of the following elements:
- Employment strategies, including Transitional Jobs;
- Case management;
- Training and educational strategies;
- Mentoring;
- Restorative justice projects; and
- Community-wide efforts to reduce crime and violence
Grantees will also be required to competitively select sub-grantees to operate the program in at least five high-poverty, high-crime sites across two states, and to partner with state correctional agencies, local parole offices, local drug and alcohol abuse centers, and Workforce Investment Boards.
