American Indian Council, Incorporated

American Indian Council, Incorporated is a minority-owned, non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since October 2009, with its primary administrative division located in North Kansas City, Missouri. The organization is specifically focused on serving Native American communities, with a particular emphasis on employment and training services for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian populations. As a Native American and American Indian-owned entity, the council has consistently received federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, specifically under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265).

The organization's federal grant awards have exclusively centered on providing comprehensive employment and training services designed to enhance workforce development for Native American communities. These grants, ranging from approximately $767,511 to $775,846 annually, support a multifaceted approach to workforce development that includes career services, follow-up counseling, and training activities. The specific service categories encompass preparing participants for unsubsidized employment, providing supportive services for up to 12 months after program exit, and delivering training designed to improve occupational skills, promote upward mobility, and create opportunities for nontraditional employment. The grants target unemployed, underemployed, and low-income Native American individuals, with a goal of developing their academic, occupational, and entrepreneurial skills. Performance metrics for these grants include employment rates, median earnings, credential attainment, skill gains, and service to employers, all aligned with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) guidelines.
