SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. 
Department of Labor, announces the availability of approximately $30 
million for grants to serve male and female ex-offenders enrolled in 
work release programs (WRPs) as authorized by the Workforce Investment 
Act and the Second Chance Act of 2007.
    This Training to Work 2-Adult Reentry SGA provides the opportunity 
for organizations to develop and implement career pathway programs in 
demand sectors and occupations for individuals who are at least 18 
years old and who are enrolled in WRPs. Career pathways are frameworks 
that help to define and map out a sequence of education, training and 
workforce skills training resulting in skilled workers that meets 
employers' needs. Career pathways are an approach to linking and 
coordinating education and training services in ways that enable 
individuals to attain such credentials, and ultimately, employment.
    Successful applicants will: (1) Establish a committed Career 
Pathways Collaborative led by the grantee that will be a non-profit 
organization such as a faith-based or community-based organization, and 
include representatives from the workforce system, WRP, and employers 
and/or industry associations. The collaborative will create a career 
pathway(s) program that defines each organizations' specific roles and 
responsibilities including the identification of a career pathway(s) in 
demand sector(s) within its community, and (2) provide an integrated 
set of critical participant-level services such as case management and 
skills training that enable participants to get on the career 
pathway(s) and advance along those pathways as they acquire additional 
skills.
    The complete SGA and any subsequent SGA amendments in connection 
with this solicitation are described in further detail on ETA's Web 
site at http://www.doleta.gov/grants/ or on http://www.grants.gov. The 
Web sites provide application information, eligibility requirements, 
review and selection procedures, and other program requirements
