Labor Department Awards $17 Million Through Work
Incentive Grant Program
WASHINGTON—Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao today awarded
grants totaling $17 million to 42 organizations to enhance the employment and
career advancement of people with disabilities through services available at
One-Stop Career Centers.
"The President has placed a priority on recognizing the untapped
employment potential of Americans with disabilities, and the need to expand job
opportunities available to them," said Chao. "These grants totaling $17 million
will help make that possible by giving people with disabilities access to
services at their community-based One-Stop Centers so they can launch
successful working careers."
The Work Incentive Grants will allow 42 organizations around the country
to meet the specific needs of people with disabilities through collaboration
with local One-Stop Career Centers. In many instances, the grantees will
provide supportive services not currently provided through the One-Stop
delivery system.
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training Emily Stover
DeRocco said, "These grants will help make our new One-Stop delivery system
more accessible to people with disabilities, ensuring every American worker has
the tools necessary to be a successful part of the 21st century workforce."
The grants serve organizations for people with disabilities for 30
months.
