About this program
The Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service administers the Transition Assistance Program (CFDA 17.807) to deliver employment instruction, information, and job-search assistance to separating and retiring military personnel and their spouses through domestic and overseas military installations. No grant awards have been disbursed under this program since November 2009, more than sixteen years ago.
The program funds comprehensive employment workshops at military installations worldwide that provide transitioning service members and spouses—those within two years of retirement or one year of separation—with labor market information, resume assistance, and information on available service benefits. Services are delivered through competitively awarded training and assistance contracts. The source characterizes funding as contract-based with irregular deadlines dependent on current contract requirements and end dates, with awards approved by the Department of Labor's Contracting Officer based on criteria in requests for proposals.
The program's activity reflects a historical portfolio: two Formula Grants totaling $38.5 million in federal dollars obligated, both awarded on November 1, 2009, with ultimate completion dates of March 31, 2015. The largest award (Formula Grant DV196271055536) obligated $34.6 million; a second award (Formula Grant DV196211055516) obligated $4.0 million. Both supported DVOP/LVER (Disabled Veterans Outreach Program and Local Veterans Employment Representatives) services. One hundred percent of awards in the portfolio are Formula Grants from a single funding source: Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service.
The source contains no recent grant opportunities or solicitations. No grant awards have been reported since 2009. The program description emphasizes contract management and performance records maintained in accordance with contract requirements, and states that funding is awarded for each contract year based on agreement and performance. Business development professionals should verify current program activity directly with the Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service before pursuing this program.
