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 workforce readiness, vocational and technical skills training, and work experience in high-demand tribal industries. Disaster relief employment activities will place participants in quality jobs that fill gaps in the tribal and local community's industries, enterprises, and government to stabilize and strengthen the local economy. Strategic partnership activities will include collaborating with partners to identify training opportunities to ensure that participants receive training in critical employer-defined skills and assist participants in entering career paths in tribal enterprises in the government sector, hospitality, retail, and skilled trades. Community and potential participant outreach activities will include a focused awareness campaign using social media platforms, the Muckleshoot Monthly newspaper, all exchange user email lists to reach all tribal members and tribal enterprise staff, text blasts, and the various tribal programs to recruit 5 - 10 tribal member participants per cohort. Business engagement activities will include collaboration with the strategic partners and an advisory board to identify employer workforce needs and inform vocational training that incorporates tribal culture and values to cultivate skilled workers and good quality workers.

Intended Beneficiary
