The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission received a $11.998 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the WIOA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Demonstration Grants program (CFDA 17.280), effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2029. This award supports the development and implementation of innovative workforce training models and employment services designed to serve dislocated workers, incumbent workers, and new entrants across Oklahoma.

The grant funds comprehensive workforce development activities including career counseling, job training, employment placement assistance, skills development in critical occupations, and wraparound supportive services. As a demonstration project, this initiative will test specialized methods and approaches to address employment and training needs while generating outcomes and lessons learned that may inform broader workforce development practices nationally. The services will be delivered through the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission's service area in Oklahoma City, OK, with performance extending across the state's workforce development system.
