2001 Customized Employment Grants

More than $4.4 million in U. S. Department of Labor grants has been awarded to seven Workforce Investment Boards across the United States for strategic planning and implementation activities designed to improve the employment and career advancement of people with disabilities.

The key goal of the grants is to build the capacity in local One-Stop Career Centers to develop and implement customized employment services to persons with disabilities. The grants provide a vehicle for the local boards to systemically review their policies and practices in service to persons with disabilities and to incorporate new and innovative practices, as appropriate. The grants are awarded for a one-year period, with four option years, subject to the availability of funds.
