About this opportunity
The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (DOL ETA) is seeking grant applications through the YouthBuild program. This competitive funding opportunity will award grants to organizations providing pre-apprenticeship services that support education, occupational skills training, and employment assistance to opportunity youth aged 16-24. Eligible applicants include public or private non-profit agencies, consortia, rural/urban/tribal entities that have previously served opportunity youth. Key requirements include providing construction skills training, aligning with pre-apprenticeship program elements, securing work sites, and potentially incorporating a Construction Plus component for training in other in-demand industries. The evaluation will prioritize at least 50% of funding for previously-funded DOL YouthBuild grantees that have demonstrated success. The application deadline is September 16, 2024, and questions may be submitted to YB_FOA-ETA-24-53@dol.gov.
DOL ETA plans to award approximately 75 projects across the country, with individual grant amounts ranging from $700,000 to $1.5 million. The grant period of performance is 40 months, including a 4-month planning period and 12-month follow-up. Applicants are required to provide a 25% match, except for Tribal entities and U.S. insular areas which are exempt from the match requirement.

Update #2 · Latest ·
Under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DOL will award grants through a competitive process to organizations providing pre-apprenticeship services that support education, occupational skills training, and employment services to opportunity youth, ages 16 to 24, who are performing meaningful work and service to their communities. The YouthBuild program model prepares participants for quality jobs in a variety of careers, in diverse industry sectors, particularly in infrastructure sectors, and includes wrap-around services such as mentoring, trauma-informed care, personal counseling, transportation supports, and employment preparation - all key strategies for addressing violence in communities. YouthBuild applicants must include construction skills training and may include occupational skills training in other in-demand industries. This expansion into additional in-demand industries is the Construction Plus component. Eligible applicants for these grants are public or private non-profit agencies or organizations, including consortia of such agencies or organizations. These organizations include rural, urban, or Native American/Tribal entities that have previously served opportunity youth in a YouthBuild or other similar program. DOL will fund approximately 75 projects across the country. Individual grants will range from $700,000 to $1.5 million and require a 25 percent match from applicants, using sources other than federal funding. This FOA features a matching waiver for Tribal entities and U.S. insular areas which allows these entities to not include a match commitment in their applications. The grant period of performance for this FOA is 40 months, including a four-month planning period and a twelve-month follow-up period.
