Job Training Economic Development

  

The Job Training and Economic Development (JTED) Grant Program assists low-wage, low-skill workers to advance in their careers, and helps unemployed, disadvantaged people learn skills necessary to secure employment. The program provides grants to not-for-profit community-based organizations (CBOs), which work with small local businesses (employing fewer than 250 workers) to develop curricula, train eligible workers, and provide ongoing support. CBOs can establish a partnership with a local business to provide training to its low-wage workers, thereby expanding their skills and advancing their career opportunities. In addition, CBOs can work with local economic development organizations and employers to identify local industries experiencing problems recruiting skilled entry-level workers, training economically disadvantaged individuals (including welfare recipients) in the needed skills and placing them in employment with these companies.
