The Workforce Innovation Fund invests in programs that support, evaluate and enhance work force investment strategies, especially among the vulnerable populations. A solicitation for grant applications is available in Friday's Federal Register.
"The mission of the public work force system is to find good jobs for everyone," says Secretary Solis. "These grants will significantly enhance the capacity of our public work force system by identifying, evaluating and expanding successful programs."
