The U.S. Department of Labor has announced up to $20 million in grants for national out-of-school time organizations aimed at expanding work-based learning opportunities, job training, and career pathways for underserved youth aged 14 to 21. The Workforce Pathways for Youth demonstration grants will enable organizations to partner with local affiliates to provide career-related services, work-based learning experiences, and paid employment opportunities. These initiatives will help youth develop foundational skills for post-secondary education and employment while addressing their needs through supportive services like transportation and emergency assistance. This round of grants aligns with the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to creating job opportunities and focuses on building the future mental health workforce and other in-demand sectors.
