Employment Recovery Dislocated Worker Grants
About
Employment Recovery DWGs expand capacity to serve dislocated workers and to meet the increased demand for employment and training services following a qualifying dislocation event, such as a mass layoff, plant closure, or higher-than-average demand for employment and training activities for dislocated members of the Armed Forces and their spouses.
Qualifying Layoff Events
The following events may be eligible for Employment Recovery DWGs:
- Mass Layoff or Plant Closure affecting 50 or more workers from at least one employer within the applicant’s service.
- Community Impact - Multiple small dislocations occurring over up to 12 months that have significantly increased the number of unemployed individuals in a state, regional, or local workforce area or areas, often in rural areas.
- Higher-than-Average Demand for Services from Dislocated Members of the Armed Services and dislocated military spouses that exceeds state and local resources for providing employment and training activities.
