About this program
The Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service administers the Local Veterans' Employment Representative Program (CFDA 17.804), which has consolidated with the Jobs for Veterans State Grants Program, with the most recent grant award dated April 1, 2015.
This program funds outreach to employers and employment, training, and placement services for veterans. Grantees conduct seminars and job search workshops for employers, establish job finding clubs, and deliver services through state employment service or One-Stop Career Center systems to help veterans gain and retain employment. The program has been consolidated into a unified delivery mechanism with JVSG (17.801), with state administrative entities designated by each governor serving as grantees.
Award activity has declined significantly since 2008. The program has issued 156 total awards spanning from 2001 to 2015, with 29 awards in 2008, falling to 2 in 2009, then resuming at smaller volumes (6 awards in 2013, 10 in 2014, and 4 in 2015). Combined federal dollars obligated total $232.9 million, all from the Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service, which is the sole funding agency.
Funding is delivered through a predominantly formula-driven structure: 87 percent of awards are Formula Grants and 13 percent are Project Grants. Formula Grants typically fund multi-year DVOP/LVER (Disabled Veterans Outreach Program and Local Veterans' Employment Representative) activities with award sizes ranging from $61,000 to $13.2 million. Representative recent Formula Grant awards include $6.7 million obligated on November 1, 2009, and $3.1 million obligated on November 1, 2009, both for combined DVOP/LVER operations. Project Grants support short-term Stand Down events, typically $6,000 to $10,000 per award, with ultimate completion dates measured in weeks to a few months. Recent Project Grant awards in 2014 and 2015 funded Stand Down activities with obligations of $5,600 to $10,000.
No recent grant opportunities are present in the source. The most recent activity in the portfolio is from April 2015, making this program dormant as of the current date.
