The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) is making up to $800,000 in funding available under the Dislocated Worker Training National Emergency Grant (DWT-NEG) Request for Applications (RFA). The purpose of this RFA is to solicit projects to provide occupational training to dislocated workers, with emphasis on long-term unemployed, to enable them to obtain employment. The RFA will support occupational classroom training from providers on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) (https://applications.labor.ny.gov/ETPL/) as follows, which is further defined in Section III (A): Classroom-Based Learning, which leads to industry recognized credentials in high-demand occupations, such as Class-sized Training by contracting with an institution of higher education, or other eligible training providers; and Remedial Training. Remedial Training would be to assist individuals in the improvement of basic skills deficiencies such as reading, writing or math. This cannot be stand-alone training. Upon completion of Remedial Training, participants must move on to Class-sized Training. Each application will be reviewed, scored and awarded based on its own merits, rather than on a competitive basis. The number of DWT-NEG applications awarded will depend on the number and quality of applications received and how those applications fit into NYSDOL's approved plan of service. Eligible applicants include private sector for-profit businesses, private not-for-profit businesses, and training providers which: Have two or more employees (principals of corporations and owners of businesses such as sole proprietors or partners are not considered to be employees for this criterion); Are physically located in New York State; and Are in good standing regarding: Unemployment Insurance; Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN); Public Works; Labor Standards; Safety and Health; NYS Department of State Division of Corporations; Workers Compensation Insurance; and Disability Insurance.
