We have added Information Alert ia040-10 to our Library.
Subject. Notice - Grants Applications 101.
Purpose. To transmit information about the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) grant process needed to author a successful application.
Substance ...Most of ETA's funding is distributed to state and local workforce development agencies by statutory or regulatory formula that is not open for competition. However, ETA also awards a significant portion of funding through competitive grants to support a variety of priorities in employment and training programming and services. These opportunities are announced through formal Solicitations for Grant Applications (SGAs), which are published in the Federal Register, on ETA's Grants and Contracts Web site, and on the Grants.gov Web site.
ETA has developed several tools to help new organizations craft competitive applications. The Workforce3.org-Grants_toolkit page is a central clearinghouse for these tools, and will be updated with additional tools as they are published.
