Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ETA 22 07
The Workforce Pathways for Youth grant opportunity (FOA ETA 22 07) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (CFDA 17.280) designed to strengthen workforce readiness and employment pathways for young people. It focuses specifically on national out-of-school time (OST) organizations that work with historically underserved and marginalized youth ages 14 to 21, aiming to meet youth where they are and connect them to real work experiences and longer-term career tracks.
At its core, the program funds demonstration projects that expand age-appropriate workforce readiness programming. Supported activities include building soft skills (like communication, teamwork, reliability, and problem-solving), structured career exploration to help youth understand options and pathways, and practical job readiness services such as resume preparation, interview practice, and work etiquette. The opportunity also emphasizes industry-recognized training and credentials, meaning grantees can help participants pursue certifications that are valued by employers. In addition, the grants support direct work-based experiences, including summer employment, year-round job opportunities, and apprenticeships, so youth can gain paid experience, develop confidence, and establish a work history.
Another major priority is partnership-building, especially collaboration between workforce development boards and youth-serving organizations. The intent is to better align OST youth supports with the broader public workforce system, improving referrals, service coordination, and access to training and employment opportunities that may already exist locally through workforce boards and their employer networks.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding level is substantial, with an award ceiling of $2,500,000 per grant, and the Department of Labor anticipated making about five awards under this announcement. The original application deadline was April 25, 2022, with submissions required to be filed electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.Apply for FOA ETA 22 07
