National Dislocated Worker Grants Program Guidance

Objectives: The National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG) Program, administered by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), offers funding to support employment-related services for dislocated workers affected by economic dislocations, emergencies, or disasters. The program grants funding to two types of DWGs: Disaster Recovery Grants, which provide funding for employment and training services in areas affected by federally declared disasters, and Employment Recovery Grants focusing on mass layoffs or closures. The program goals include creating temporary job opportunities and expanding capacity to address increased demand for training and employment services, aiming for successful placement and recovery in affected communities.
