Summary

The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is announcing WIOA Consolidated Activities Program allotments for Outlying Areas (e.g., territories such as Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau) for Program Year 2026. This is a formula-based grant allotment notice directing federal workforce development funds to eligible outlying area entities. Recipients are expected to deliver WIOA-authorized workforce training, employment, and support services in accordance with federal program requirements.

What they want

Distribution of WIOA Consolidated Activities Program formula allotments to Outlying Areas for Program Year (PY) 2026. Covered activities include workforce development services authorized under WIOA, encompassing adult, dislocated worker, and youth programs administered through the consolidated program structure applicable to outlying areas. The notice (ETA-TEGL-10-25-OA) is issued as a Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) by DOL-ETA.
Deliverables
  • Workforce training and employment services for adults, dislocated workers, and youth in outlying areas
  • Program Year 2026 performance reports
  • Compliance with WIOA consolidated activities requirements
Technical requirements
  • Compliance with WIOA consolidated program requirements for outlying areas
  • Adherence to ETA Training and Employment Guidance Letter ETA-TEGL-10-25-OA

How they evaluate

  • Formula-based allotment — not a competitive procurement; funds distributed per WIOA statutory formula for outlying areas
Submission: Grants.gov federal grants portal (online submission)

Risks & flags

  • Formula grant to outlying areas — not open to competitive bidding; eligibility is restricted by statute to designated outlying area jurisdictions
  • Very limited public detail provided — no dollar amounts, no detailed eligibility criteria, and no program specifics disclosed in the notice
  • Short 30-day open window (04/29/2026–05/29/2026) may limit response time for potential sub-recipients or new applicants
