Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL 25 20
The CAREER (Comprehensive and Accessible Reemployment through Equitable Employment Recovery) National Dislocated Worker Grant (DWG) opportunity is a U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration discretionary grant designed to help communities respond to the sharp unemployment and economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program focuses on getting dislocated workers back into stable jobs by funding more intensive, more accessible reemployment services and by modernizing the digital tools and data systems that connect jobseekers to those services and to employers.
At its core, the CAREER DWG targets dislocated workers who were hit hardest by the pandemic-driven labor market fallout, with an explicit emphasis on equitable recovery. That means prioritizing individuals from historically marginalized communities or groups, as well as people who have been unemployed for a long time or have exhausted Unemployment Insurance (UI) or other pandemic-related unemployment programs. The intent is not just to provide short-term job search help, but to support workers in overcoming the structural and practical barriers that often keep them from reconnecting to quality employment.
Applicants can propose projects that deliver one or both of two main types of grant-supported activities. The first is direct, staff-assisted career services that provide hands-on reemployment support. This can include comprehensive career guidance, job search and placement assistance, and case management-style services that help participants navigate the full path back to work. Importantly, the grant can also fund training when it is needed for a participant to move into a higher-paying or more sustainable career pathway, rather than returning to the same low-wage or unstable work. Alongside these services, CAREER DWG funding can cover allowable supportive services that make participation possible, such as child care or transportation, which are often decisive factors for whether someone can complete training or follow through on employment plans.
The second major activity area is digitalization and systems improvement. Grantees may use funds to develop or upgrade accessible online systems, platforms, and data structures that expand access to services and improve the connection between jobseekers and reemployment opportunities. In practice, this could include improving virtual intake and eligibility processes, online job search and matching tools, accessible career guidance platforms, and the underlying data systems needed to coordinate services across partners. The emphasis on accessibility signals that these systems should work for a wide range of users, including people who face technology barriers or need accommodations to fully participate.
Whether a project leans toward direct service delivery, technology modernization, or a combination of both, grantees are expected to design and implement their strategy in alignment with National Dislocated Worker Grant requirements and guidance, specifically referencing Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 12-19 for DWG program direction. A required element is extensive outreach so that eligible workers actually learn about and can access the employment and training opportunities created by the grant, recognizing that the people most in need are often the least connected to traditional service channels.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number ETA TEGL 25 20 and is associated with CFDA 17.277 (Employment, Labor and Training). The award ceiling listed is $3,000,000, with an expected 15 awards. The opportunity was created on June 28, 2021, and the original application closing date was August 31, 2021, with applications due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Eligibility is not summarized as a standard category and is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that applicants needed to consult the full announcement for the precise eligible applicant types and any partnership or governance requirements.
Overall, CAREER DWG is structured as a recovery-focused workforce investment: it aims to quickly and equitably reconnect dislocated workers to employment by combining people-centered, staff-supported reemployment and training services with upgraded digital infrastructure that expands reach, improves service access, and strengthens the data connections needed to move unemployed workers into reemployment.Apply for ETA TEGL 25 20
