About this program
The Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service funds workforce reintegration services for veterans under CFDA 17.802, with the most recent grant award issued September 28, 2012—fourteen years ago. This program is not currently active; no grant awards have been disbursed since 2012, and no recent grant opportunities are posted.
Historically, the program funded the Veterans Workforce Investment Program (VWIP), which delivered employment reintegration services and training to eligible veterans. Representative recent awards funded workforce development initiatives at various organizations, including Project Grant VW238681260537 for $1,012,323.70, Project Grant VW23612126054 for $1,240,471.58, and Project Grant VW236171260528 for $924,370.46, all awarded in September 2012.
The program issued 75 Project Grants exclusively across its funding history dating to October 2001, with $52.6 million in combined federal dollars obligated. Award cadence was uneven in the final years: the program made 12 awards in 2012, one award in 2011, four in 2010, 17 in 2009, and 12 in 2008. The Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service dominated funding, accounting for 63 awards totaling $38.1 million in federal dollars obligated, while the Department of Labor issued 12 awards totaling $14.5 million. Individual awards typically ranged from $750 thousand to $1.5 million, with several capping at exactly $1.5 million in the 2009 funding cycle.
Do not pursue this program. The fourteen-year funding gap, combined with the absence of any posted opportunities, indicates the program is dormant or has been superseded.
