Career counseling, mentoring, and labor market trends help participants progress in their careers. Each participant’s career strategy is customized.<\/p>\n

The LiLA Grant is open to non-profits, for-profits, government agencies, and universities. The two-year trial program begins in March and ends in 2025.<\/p>\n

Grantees must serve 100 low-income persons who have been unemployed for six months or more or are seriously underemployed and eager to train for work.<\/p>\n

Upon fulfilling performance targets and expenditures, grantees will receive up to $750,000 each year.<\/p>\n
