Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), describing an anticipated cooperative agreement award. It is not a funding opportunity announcement and it is not soliciting proposals or applications. In other words, the government is signaling its plan to fund a specific project and recipient rather than opening a competition.
The planned project is titled "Global Project to Promote Private Sector Investment in Workplace-Based Training Programs for Vulnerable Youth" (Opportunity Number: NOI ILAB 16 06). ILAB indicates it intends to provide funding via a cooperative agreement to the Global Apprenticeships Network (GAN). The central purpose is to encourage and mobilize private sector investment in workplace-based training programs for young people, with a particular emphasis on youth who are vulnerable to involvement in hazardous work. The scope is primarily international, engaging employers and stakeholders at global and national levels, while allowing for limited activities within the United States as needed to support the overall effort.
The notice highlights two core outcomes the project is expected to deliver. First, it seeks to improve information-sharing among private companies and other key stakeholders by compiling, promoting, and exchanging existing tools, resources, and best practices connected to workplace-based training for youth, including approaches that effectively reach vulnerable and marginalized young people. Second, it aims to strengthen coordination and collaboration among the private sector and other stakeholders to support the actual implementation of training models that are accessible to vulnerable and marginalized youth, moving beyond knowledge exchange toward more aligned action and joint problem-solving.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the NOI lists the opportunity category as discretionary and the instrument type as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in shaping, coordinating, or monitoring project activities compared to a standard grant. The total anticipated funding amount is up to an award ceiling of $1,200,000, with one award expected. The CFDA number associated with the notice is 17.401. The agency is listed as DOL-ETA-ILAB. The notice was created and posted on May 4, 2016, with a closing date shown as May 31, 2016, though the key practical point remains that applications are not being accepted because this is not a competitive solicitation.
The legal/justification basis cited for making the award to GAN is USDOL Manual Series (DLMS) 2-836 G.3, which covers circumstances where services are available from only one responsible source and no substitute will suffice, or where the recipient has unique qualifications to perform the activity being funded. This signals that ILAB considers GAN uniquely positioned to carry out the global employer-facing coordination and promotion of apprenticeships and workplace-based training described in the project concept.
