Youth Build Funding Announced
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced the availability of $99 million in YouthBuild Program grants that are intended to support the delivery of pre-apprenticeships in high-demand industries. These grants provide academic support, occupational skills training and employment services to young people, ages 16 to 24, in communities where they face barriers to academic and career skills development. Managed by DOL’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and authorized by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the YouthBuild Program will fund 75 projects, ranging from $700,000 to $1.5 million. States are eligible to apply, and applications are due September 16, 2024.
