Award Description: The overall purpose of the WIA National Emergency ARRA Grant award through the U.S. Department of Labor is to assist those most impacted by the recession. The NEG funds assist dislocated Oregonians who lost their jobs at specific companies due to no fault of their own, with re-employment and skill development opportunities. Services could include supportive services, skill identification, job matching, resume writing, interviewing assistance, job placement, and potential retraining opportunities in industries where labor market information shows potential growth. These services are available to workers from specific companies only through WorkSource Oregon centers. One hundred percent of the funds go to the counties in which those companies operated. These funds are held to the U.S. Department of Labor performance measures standards (number of participants and cost per participant).
