National Dislocated Worker Grants

National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWGs) are federal funds provided to help workers who have lost their jobs due to economic downturns, natural disasters, or other large-scale disruptions. These grants support short-term employment and training programs, allowing displaced workers to gain new skills and find new jobs quickly. They also help communities rebuild their economies and infrastructure affected by such events. Essentially, DWGs are a targeted response to support unemployed workers and stabilize local economies during times of significant hardship.
