More than $2.6 million has been awarded to two grantees to (1) provide technical assistance support to Workforce Investment Act (WIA) One-Stop Career Centers, state and local Workforce Investment Boards and other key leaders that oversee and operate adult oriented programs in order to enable them to increase employment outcomes for people with disabilities, and (2) deliver technical assistance in order to build the capacity of the emerging and existing WIA-assisted and other youth programs to provide comprehensive services to young people with disabilities. Each grant is awarded for a one-year period, with four option years, subject to the availability of funds.
