Project Grant 23A60IA000057

This $130,079 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265). The grant supports employment and training activities for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian individuals in order to develop their academic, occupational, and literacy skills, make them more competitive in the workforce, and equip them with entrepreneurial skills for self-employment. Key services include career services to prepare participants for unsubsidized employment, follow-up services like counseling and supportive services, and training services. The grant is intended to benefit unemployed, underemployed, low-income, or recently laid-off American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian adults. The grantee, Miccosukee Corporation, is a Tribal Government entity that will deliver these workforce development services directly to the target population from July 2023 through June 2026.
