The U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration awarded a $1,249,259 Project Grant to the Florida Governor's Council On Indian Affairs, Inc. under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265). The grant supports employment and training services for unemployed, underemployed, or laid-off 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 provided include career services to prepare participants for unsubsidized employment, follow-up services for up to 12 months after exit to assist with job retention, and training services outlined in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The grantee, a non-profit organization, delivers most services directly with minimal sub-recipient involvement. The grant aims to promote the economic and social development of Native American communities in alignment with their goals and values.
