About
At various times throughout the year, the
Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's Office of Employment and Training
(DCEO OET) will solicit project applications to help advance our mission. Initiative funding will generally utilize federal funds from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), but other funding sources may be available.
The OET will issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), typically for a specific activity linked to priorities of the
State of Illinois Unified Workforce Plan
, seeking organizations to respond. Each NOFO will include detailed application instructions. Funding opportunities are limited to public and private organizations in good standing with the Illinois Secretary of State. DCEO selects organizations whose responses best meet the evaluation criteria outlined in the solicitation.
Applicants must pre-qualify through the
Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) Grantee Portal
. During pre-qualification, Dun and Bradstreet verifications are performed, including a check of Debarred and Suspended status and good standing with the Secretary of State. The pre-award process includes a financial and administrative risk assessment utilizing an Internal Controls Questionnaire.
