In November 2005, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) awarded grants to 30 Faith-Based and Community Organizations (FBCOs) to implement a Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative (PRI) Demonstration. The Initiative seeks to strengthen communities affected by large numbers of formerly incarcerated individuals through employment-centered projects that incorporate education, job training, housing referrals, mentoring, and other comprehensive transitional services.

The planning team for Workforce Innovations 2008 has announced that attendees can now browse complete descriptions of the sessions to be offered in New Orleans on July 15 - 17.

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has issued Training and Employment Notice (TEN) 42-07. This TEN provides information on Federal training and education tax credits that may be available to One-Stop Career Center customers, particularly those not eligible for training assistance under the Workforce Investment Act.

Workforce Solutions resulting from investments from the President`s High Growth Job Training Initiative and the Community-Based Job Training Grants are now available on WORKFORCE3ONE.ORG.
