Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award Purpose
Quest DWG projects advance the department's promise to create high-quality jobs and a skilled workforce and reflect the administration's commitment to providing opportunities for all workers to overcome the employment, economic, and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants enable individuals adversely affected by the pandemic and the social and economic inequities that the pandemic exacerbated to enter, return to, or advance in high-quality jobs in growth industries such as infrastructure, environment and climate, the care economy, and other critical sectors. Quest DWGs also address business and industry needs for a resilient and skilled workforce.
Activities Performed
Employment and training activities will include career, supportive, and training services in the priority industries designed to advance participants into high-quality employment, including self-employment via career navigator support, work-based learning, and entrepreneurial training. Disaster relief employment activities will create 50 jobs, including logistics and humanitarian support technicians, resource coordinators, and technical support engineers that will support designated facilities, and community and business partners affected by the ongoing health, employment, or social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategic partnership activities will include expanding existing and developing new collaboratives with workforce intermediaries in priority industries and targeted populations. This entails a community-wide approach that involves stakeholders such as businesses, education and training providers, career development services, community-based organizations, state government, and organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and economic development entities, along with input from workers. Community and potential participant outreach activities will include developing an outreach plan that provides for culturally and linguistically adept print, voice, video, social media, and other materials to reach historically marginalized communities and individuals in their native language. Business engagement activities will include strategic and operational activities focused on sector strategies and career pathways that increase job quality, equity, and lead to sustainable, high-quality jobs such as employer-driven training programs, pre-apprenticeships that lead to registered apprenticeships and careers, and career mapping.
