Native
Employment Works
The
Native Employment Works (NEW) program makes work activities available
to the population and service areas that a Tribe or Tribal organization
designates. NEW funds can be used for work activities, supportive
and job retention services, job market assessments, job creation
and economic development leading to job creation. Work activities
include, but are not limited to, educational activities, alternative
education, post secondary education, job readiness activity, job
search, job skills training, on-the-job training, work experience
and other training and employment activities.
These
are mandatory formula grants. Federally recognized Indian Tribes
and Alaska Native organizations that operated a Tribal Job Opportunities
and Basic Skills (JOBS) training program in FY 1995 are eligible
to apply.
