Summary – In accordance with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the new four-year NFJP grant cycle went into effect on July 1, 2020. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is issuing this TEGL to notify NFJP grantees of PY 2023 grant allotments and to provide instructions for submitting required documents. Grantees must submit required documents, including program plans and budget documents. NFJP grantees approved to serve youth in PY 2022 and who met their youth enrollment goals may also apply for additional youth funding via this TEGL. Please see the summary provided in section 3(c). ETA is using a streamlined application process for these funds and limiting the competition to existing NFJP grantees who were both approved to serve youth in PY 2022 and met 100 percent of their youth enrollment goals. To confirm if a grantee met their youth enrollment targets, ETA will use the rolling four quarters performance report for the cohort period 1/1/2022 – 12/31/2022. These additional funds will enable successful applicants to enhance the delivery of youth workforce investment activities described in the NFJP regulations at 20 CFR 685.310 to eligible MSFW youth, which include the activities described for the WIOA Youth program in WIOA section 129 and 20 CFR 681.460.
