Federal Grant Award Summary

The Indian Training Education Center, Inc. received a $429,702 Project Grant award effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265). The organization will deliver comprehensive employment and training services to unemployed, underemployed, and low-income American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian adults in Utah. Primary service deliverables include career services designed to prepare participants for unsubsidized employment and self-sufficiency; occupational training activities aligned with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA); and follow-up support services including counseling and employment retention assistance for up to 12 months following participant exit.

The grant supports the development of academic, occupational, and literacy skills while promoting entrepreneurial capabilities and economic self-sufficiency within Native communities. The Indian Training Education Center, Inc. will directly administer services with minimal subrecipient involvement and is required to track six performance outcomes: employment rates in the second and fourth quarters after exit, median earnings, credential attainment, skill gains, and services provided to employers. The three-year award reflects the organization's established capacity as a woman-owned, minority-owned nonprofit with consistent success in delivering workforce development services to Native American populations.
