Veterans' Workforce Investment Program (VWIP): Executive Summary: The U.S. Department of Labor, Veterans? Employment and Training Service (VETS) announces a competition for the balance of the Veterans? Workforce Investment Program (VWIP) grant funds for Program Year (PY) 2003 as authorized under Section 168 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. This notice contains all of the necessary information and forms needed to apply for grant funding. Selected programs will assist eligible veterans by providing employment, training, support services, credentialing, networking information, and/or other assistance. Under this solicitation for grant applications (SGA), VETS anticipates that up to $400,000 in PY 2003 funds will be available for grant awards. The awards will be in the form of 12-month grants. The VWIP programs are designed to be flexible in addressing the universal as well as local or regional problems that may have had a negative impact on veterans reentering the workforce, including lack of coordinating information between local service providers. VETS, through this SGA, is seeking applications that take one of two approaches - either providing direct services to veterans, or providing outreach and public information activities that result in job and job training opportunities for veterans.
