To announce the availability of up to $150 million for Job-Driven (JD) National Emergency Grants (NEGs). These funds will provide grants to states to drive strategies identified in the January 30, 2014 Presidential Memorandum on Job-Driven Training for Workers at the local level. States will use JD NEGs to implement new or expanded local and regional job-driven partnerships that will serve more dislocated workers and achieve better employment-related outcomes for this group of workers. If more than the currently anticipated level of funds becomes available and the number of acceptable proposals exceeds $150 million, the Department reserves the right to make awards in excess of $150 million.
