The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) is making available up to $1.1 million through a Dislocated Worker Training National Emergency Grant (DWT NEG) it received from the U.S. Department of Labor to solicit projects providing occupational training to dislocated workers, with an emphasis on the long-term unemployed, to enable them to obtain employment. The DWT NEG Request for Applications (RFA) will support two types of occupational training: Work-Based Learning, including: On-the-Job Training (OJT); Customized Training; and Registered Apprenticeships; and
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
