Job Training Economic Development (JTED)

Program Overview:

The Job Training and Economic Development (JTED) Grant program assists low-wage/low-skill workers to advance in their careers and helps unemployed or disadvantaged people learn skills necessary to secure employment.

The program provides grants to not-for-profit community-based organizations (CBOs) that work with small local businesses (employing fewer than 250 workers) in order to develop curricula, train eligible workers, and provide ongoing support.
CBOs can establish a partnership with a local business to provide training to its low-wage workers, thereby expanding workers' skills and advancing their career opportunities.

Program Goals:

  • Foster local economic development by linking the needs of the low wage/low skilled employed worker with the workforce needs of local industry. (Category I)
  • Foster local economic development by linking the needs of the unemployed disadvantaged individual with the workforce needs of local industry. (Category II)
