Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The Capitol Region group is a coalition of local workforce development boards of which Yolo County is a member. Sacramento Employment and Training Agency (SETA) is also a member and serves as the lead agency for the Capital Region’s National Dislocated Worker Grant (NDWG) Project. The project takes ideas from across the region and applies for California WIOA grant funds to launch them. 
 
The Capital Region’s WIOA CAREER NDWG Project awarded Yolo County $829,495 to provide services for 50 Dislocated Workers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for the period of September 24, 2021, through September 23, 2023. This funding will enable successful applicants to address ongoing or emerging workforce and economic challenges by providing training and career services to dislocated workers seeking reentry into the workforce and increasing their skill levels to become competitive for growing or high-demand employment opportunities.
