Labor Market Supply and Demand in the Northern Triangle: Leveraging Data to Build an Efficient Labor Market

NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent. An announcement is not related to this notice. We are not accepting applications at this time. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to achieve the following outcomes: 1) LMI systems enable educational and workforce training providers to help job-seekers and youth develop in-demand job skills, 2) LMI systems help businesses more easily identify and hire qualified workers, and 3) LMI systems enable governments to craft effective labor market policies. The project will also support the LMI systems generate data that are comparable across all three countries. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) around June 2017 (the timing is subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/grants for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This notice does not include an FOA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL’s intent to publish an FOA at a later date. Interested applicants are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the FOA because, if an FOA is published, grants.gov is the method by which the FOA will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies of any FOA will be provided.
