Enhanced Support for Native American Employment and Job Training Programs.
This law streamlines access to job training funds for Native American tribes and organizations by removing the competitive bidding requirement, ensuring more stable funding. It also expands eligibility for participants and provides greater flexibility in managing resources. Furthermore, the federal government is mandated to provide technical assistance to help tribal organizations maximize the use of available funds.
Key points
Funding for tribal job training programs will become more stable and non-competitive, allowing for better long-term planning of services.
More individuals will qualify for employment assistance and training programs due to expanded eligibility criteria.
Tribal organizations gain flexibility to carry over unused funds to the next year and receive mandatory federal assistance to navigate complex rules.
