Technical Assistance for Trade Adjustment Assistance

About this grant

This grant will continue support to the National Employment Law Project to bolster Michigan’s and Flint’s knowledge of how to piece together a rapid and effective response to severe job loss and economic dislocation. The grantee’s technical assistance initiative promotes a battery of better practices that have proven more effective in getting workers to participate in retraining and take fuller advantage of a range of dislocated worker programs. In Flint, the grantee will continue to deploy a dislocated worker facilitator. The grantee has assisted with a number of rapid response/dislocation events; worked with local community, religious, and nonprofit agencies; and promoted a worker retraining agenda with Genesee County stakeholders.
