State Training and Employment Program Teleconference - EGrAMS Application Questions

The Alaska Workforce Investment Board (AWIB) requests grant applications for training projects in priority industries under the State Training and Employment Program. STEP is funded by a percentage of the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund and is appropriated by the Alaska State Legislature.

The purpose of STEP is to enhance the quality and accessibility of in-state training and employment services for Alaska residents. STEP seeks to increase resident employment in industries where a high number of nonresidents are working, reduce future unemployment claims, and foster economic growth in all regions by meeting employer demand for a skilled workforce.

The attached Request for Grant Applications (RGA) includes additional detailed information regarding this solicitation. 

Two Microsoft Teams teleconferences will be held to answer questions about the STEP program, this RGA, and the application process. Applications must be entered in the Electronic Grants Administration System (EGrAMS).

The deadline for submission of grant applications is Friday, March 12, 2021 by 5:00 p.m.
