Project Grant 24A60IA000144

This $164,535 federal 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 was awarded to Little Big Horn Community College, a tribal college located in Crow Agency, Montana, to provide employment and training services to American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian individuals.

The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: (1) Career services to prepare participants for unsubsidized employment and support their career advancement, (2) Follow-up counseling and supportive services for up to 12 months after program exit to help participants obtain and retain employment, and (3) Training services, including activities described under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to develop participants' skills and qualifications. The expected outcomes are defined in WIOA Section 116(b) and include measures such as employment rates, median earnings, credential attainment, and skills gains. Little Big Horn Community College will directly provide these services to the target beneficiary population of unemployed, underemployed, and low-income Native American individuals, with minimal sub-award activities planned.
