Notice of Availability of Funds and Solicitation for Grant Applications for High Growth Job Training Initiative Grants for the Advanced Manufacturing Industry
The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), announces the availability of approximately $10 million in grant funds for new and innovative approaches to meeting the workforce challenges of the advanced manufacturing industry under the President's High Growth Job Training Initiative. ETA defines ``advanced manufacturing'' as the use of technology or other productivity-enhancing business processes in the manufacturing enterprise and/or value-added supply chain. These advanced manufacturing technologies and processes may be used in a variety of industry sectors. The President's High Growth Job Training Initiative (HGJTI) is a strategic effort to prepare workers for new and increasing job opportunities in high-growth, high-demand, and economically vital industries and sectors of the American economy. Through the initiative, ETA identifies high-growth, high-demand industries, evaluates their skill needs, and funds local and national partnership-based demonstration projects that: (a) Address workforce challenges identified by employers; and (b) prepare workers for good jobs with career pathways in these rapidly expanding or transforming industries. The products, models, and effective approaches that result from HGJTI investments will be broadly disseminated to employers, education and training providers, and the workforce system to build their capacity to respond to employers' workforce needs. Grant funds awarded under this Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) should be used to develop and implement innovative and industry- driven training solutions that address the advanced manufacturing industry's critical workforce challenges. Each solution must take place in the context of a strategic partnership between the workforce investment system, business and industry representatives, and education and training providers such as community colleges. The projects selected for funding under this SGA are intended to complement and enhance existing ETA investments for the advanced manufacturing industry available on ETA's Web site at https://www.doleta.gov/BRG/ Indprof/Manufacturing.cfm. Applicants may be public, private for-profit, and private non- profit organizations. It is anticipated that individual awards will fall within the range of $750,000 to $1.5 million.

Under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub. L.105-220) (WIA), the Secretary of Labor annually determines the Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) for uses described in the Law. WIA defines the term ``Low Income Individual'' as one who qualifies under various criteria, including an individual who received income for a six-month period that does not exceed the higher of the poverty line or 70 percent of the LLSIL. This issuance provides the Secretary's annual LLSIL for 2006 and references the current 2006 Health and Human Services ``Poverty Guidelines.''
