DOL Distributes $7.5 Million in Grants for Green Job-Training for Vets
Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis on July 1 announced the distribution of 17 grants—worth about $7.5 million dollars—to job-training programs designed to help approximately 3,000 veterans transition into the civilian workforce. The grants are part of the Department of Labor's (DOL) Veterans’ Workforce Investment Program (VWIP). Funds are being awarded on a competitive basis to state and local workforce investment boards, local public agencies and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based and community organizations, DOL said in a statement. Emphasis is on training veterans who are interested in “green jobs” that exist now in the marketplace or are expected soon. Fields of employment include energy efficiency and renewable energy, modern electric-power development and clean vehicles, DOL said. Through VWIP, vets receive skills assessments; individual job counseling; labor-market information; classroom or on-the-job training; retraining; and placement assistance and follow-up services.
