| Purpose |
Funding for projects that provide workers with
training that will prepare them to enter and advance in the health care
sector, as well as other high growth and emerging industries. The absence of qualified workers in this diverse sector threatens
the quality and availability of medical care, and the economic
stability and growth potential of local communities in rural, urban,
and suburban areas.
The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is particularly interested in receiving applications that focus on one or more of the following health care sub-sectors and occupational categories:
Nursing
Allied Health
Long-Term Care
Health Information Technology
|
| Eligibility |
Eligible applicants are public entities or private nonprofit
entities. Applicants must be legal entities and may include local
Workforce Investment Boards and their One Stop Systems, Tribal
organizations, education and training providers, labor organizations,
health care providers, and faith-based and community organizations. The
applicant must be the fiscal agent for the grant. An organization may
not submit multiple applications in response to this Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA). However, an
organization that submits an application for this SGA is not precluded
from participating as a partner in applications submitted by other
applicants in response to this SGA.

Application
process |
The Federal Register notice (Program web site) SGA contains all of the information and links to forms needed
to apply for grant funding.
Applicants may apply online through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov); however, due to the expected increase in system activity resulting from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, applicants are encouraged to use an alternate method to submit grant applications during this heightened period of demand. While not mandatory, DOL encourages the submission of applications through professional overnight delivery service.
A link to the application is available through Grants.gov at: http://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do?&mode=VIEW&flag2006=false&oppId=48679.
A pre-recorded Webinar will be on-line (http://www.workforce3one.org) and accessible for viewing on August 12, 2009 by 3 p.m. Eastern Time, and will be available for viewing anytime after that date. While a review of this webinar is encouraged it is not mandatory that you view this recording. |
