About this opportunity

Summary:

The ETM Demonstration Grants aim to enhance employment outcomes for multiply marginalized youth and young adults with disabilities (Y & YAD) and boost states' ability to devise innovative employment strategies for these underserved groups. The grants will support up to four grantees in creating scalable strategies to help these individuals, aged 14 to 24, transition into the workforce. The target populations for these grants include low-income Y & YAD, those experiencing homelessness, leaving foster care, involved in the justice system, or identified in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

List of Services and Products to be provided:

  1. Development of scalable strategies to enable multiply marginalized Y & YAD to transition into the workforce.
  2. Identification of specific target populations based on data analysis and needs assessments.
  3. Innovative employment strategies for underserved Y & YAD and their families.
  4. Support for low-income Y & YAD, those experiencing homelessness, leaving foster care, or involved in the justice system.
  5. Assistance for underserved Y & YAD populations identified in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), such as youth receiving Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) benefits, youth potentially eligible for SSI, or youth whose low earnings may lead them to apply for SSI benefits as adults.
