Cumberland County Association For Indian People Inc.

Cumberland County Indian Peopl Cumberland County Aso. For Indian People Division is a minority-owned, non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2008, specializing in employment and training services for Native American communities. The organization is structured as a tax-exempt corporate entity and holds several business certifications, including being a Native American and American Indian-owned business with DOT Certified DBE status. While specific details about the organization's broader mission are not provided, its federal grant award history demonstrates a focused commitment to workforce development and economic empowerment for Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian populations.

The organization exclusively receives federal grant awards from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, specifically through the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265). These project grants, ranging from $159,292 to supporting multi-year initiatives, aim to develop academic, occupational, and literacy skills for Native individuals. The grants enable Cumberland County Indian Peopl to provide comprehensive employment services, including career preparation, follow-up counseling, and training aligned with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Key service objectives include helping participants enter or retain unsubsidized employment, promoting self-sufficiency, and supporting entrepreneurial skills development. The organization directly delivers these services with minimal involvement from subrecipients, focusing on six primary performance outcomes: employment rates, median earnings, credential attainment, skill gains, and employer services. Grant beneficiaries are primarily unemployed, underemployed, low-income Native Americans, or those at risk of workforce displacement.
