The Reentry Employment in Skilled Trades, Advanced Manufacturing, Registered Apprenticeships, and Training (RESTART) Initiative

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor

ACTION: Amendment to FOA-ETA-26-17

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor (Department), announced on February 25, 2026, the availability of funding for RESTART to be awarded through a competitive process.
