Description:
During the current economic downturn, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania has many responsibilities, including: 1) providing assistance to the rising ranks of the unemployed in the commonwealth and the resulting demands placed on the unemployment compensation system; (2) developing innovative initiatives to get workers trained and back to work as quickly as possible in family sustaining jobs; and (3) working closely with employers to better understand where workers are still being hired and/or where the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) will create a new demand for workers.

This Announcement of Grant Availability (AGA) represents the commonwealth’s response to these areas of responsibility. The commonwealth seeks grant applications for training and education that leads to family sustaining employment. Applications that utilize Pennsylvania’s existing workforce development system to address the economic downturn will be given priority.
