Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Workforce Services Wyoming received a formula grant of $3.6M from the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) under the Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser Funded Activities program (CFDA 17.207), effective July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. This universal access program delivers employment services to job seekers and employers throughout Wyoming, including job search assistance, career assessments, career guidance, labor market information services, job referrals, and placement support. Job seekers receive comprehensive assistance to overcome employment barriers and rapidly reenter the workforce, while employers obtain recruitment support, qualified applicant referrals, and assistance with hard-to-fill positions and workforce transitions.

The grantee may subaward funds to subrecipients for labor market information (LMI) research and specific service delivery activities such as career interest assessments, career counseling, job search workshops, and referrals to employment or training opportunities. The program explicitly excludes direct training services. All individuals have access to program services without eligibility restrictions, though priority is extended to covered populations including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
