The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $5,750,000 Project Grant to Goodwill Industries International, Inc. under the H-1B Job Training Grants program (CFDA 17.268). The five-year grant, effective October 1, 2024, will support Goodwill's workforce development initiatives that prepare workers for middle- to high-skilled jobs in advanced manufacturing, information technology, professional services, and critical infrastructure sectors. Goodwill will use the funding to develop, implement, and scale worker-centered sector strategy training programs that create career pathways, support diversity and inclusion, and address skills gaps in high-demand occupational areas. Goodwill will deliver these services through its nationwide network of local Goodwill sub-awardees, leveraging their expertise in providing career counseling, skills training, and employment services to disadvantaged populations.
