The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $1.1 million Project Grant to the St. Louis Agency On Training & Employment under the YouthBuild federal grant program (CFDA 17.274). Funding will support the delivery of education and employment skills training services to underserved youth from July 2021 through October 2024. Specifically, grant funds will be used to provide post-secondary education opportunities, including apprenticeship training, to equip youth participants with the skills needed to achieve economic self-sufficiency. The YouthBuild program also offers job training and placement assistance. This funding advances the YouthBuild program's goal of preparing socioeconomically disadvantaged youth for careers through occupational skills instruction and community service projects like housing rehabilitation.
