U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS — Governor Albert Bryan Jr. announced that the U.S. Department of Labor has awarded the Virgin Islands Department of Labor a $1.5 million 
National Dislocated Worker Grant 
to provide disaster-relief employment, along with employment training and service.

The grant is funded under the federal
CARES Act, which provided $345 million for Dislocated Worker Grants to help
address workforce-related impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As we look thoughtfully to reopen our
economy, a central challenge will be to fight back the virus and assist
unemployed Americans in finding jobs and getting back to work,” Assistant
Secretary for Employment and Training John P. Pallasch said.

“Dislocated Worker Grant funding places
eligible individuals into roles where they can help their communities address
effects of the virus,” he said.

The V.I. Department of Labor will
receive an executed grant agreement, as well as a Notice of Award indicating
the effective date and any special conditions for the use of the federal funds.
The grant award documents also will specify the conditions under which the
Territory may request additional funding.
