SGA-DFA-PY-10-07

Additional Information of Eligibility:
These funds are available to applicants with existing career training programs, including pre-apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship programs.

DOL intends to award large grants to national and statewide organizations with local affiliates in at least six communities per grant to ensure a broad variety of projects and broad geographic distribution across the country.

For purposes of this SGA, a community will be defined using all or part of the applicant’s existing service areas for each of the local affiliates participating in the training programs.

It is anticipated that these service areas will represent a single geographic area such as a neighborhood, city, or county, and the six communities should not overlap.

Eligible applicants must apply under one of three categories and state the eligibility in the abstract: 1) national labor-management organizations with local affiliates; 2) national non-profit organizations with local affiliates; or 3) statewide non-profit organizations or state Workforce Investment Act administering agencies with local affiliates.

Applicants from any of the three pools must propose training programs that operate in at least six locations.

The Department strongly encourages applicants to stretch their reach and resources to serve as many sites and individuals as practical within the project design.

Applicants under all three categories should note the partnership requirements in Section III.C.
