2 Nuts and Bolts  A number of grantees are also supporting foreign-trained immigrants, who qualify as dislocated workers, use the skills they obtained in their former countries to fill critical job openings in the United States. For example, Idaho will support the Global Talent Idaho initiative, which provides foreign-trained immigrants with specialized training to hone key job readiness skills such as business communication, interviewing, and networking. Maryland and Washington State will support the expansion of Welcome Back Centers in their states. Welcome Back Centers are a national model with program sites in eight states that help foreign-trained health care professionals obtain state licenses to continue their work in their new homes. The program also provides English as a Second Language and other immigrant integration training services. Disability Employment Initiative. This fall, grants will be awarded to expand the capacity of American Job Centers to improve employment outcomes of individuals with disabilities (including those with significant disabilities) by increasing the participation of this population in existing career pathways programs that provide a full education and training programs along with supportive services. These programs are being successfully implemented in the public workforce system in partnership with community colleges and other education partners, human services, businesses, and other partners. In addition to the focus on reducing barriers faced by this population, the grant has a job-driven focus by promoting more active engagement with the business sector to identify the skills and support workers with disabilities need and to better communicate these skills to the workforce system and its partners. Additionally, work-based training approaches are encouraged, including on- the-job training, summer youth employment, Registered Apprenticeships, internships, and other paid work experiences Pathways to Careers for Youth and Young Adults with Disabilities. The Pathways to Careers: Community College for Youth and Young Adults with Disabilities Project is a grant recently released by the Office of Disability Employment Policy at DOL. This fall, grant awards will be made to build on the capacity of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grants by awarding funding to two prior grantees to develop, test, and evaluate new integrated education and career training strategies to help ensure that youth and young adults with disabilities acquire the skills, degrees, and credentials needed for high-wage, high-skill employment. Training Paraprofessionals for the Health Workforce. Through these grants available from HHS in FY 2014, health professions schools, their partner communities, and technical and tribal colleges will work with local government and employers to identify critical needs for paraprofessionals, and then the schools will provide classroom and on-the-job training to help students get the certificates required for those jobs. The students will also get career coaching and placement support to help them find jobs quickly. The program will have a special focus on training people from underrepresented, disadvantaged, and rural backgrounds, and on helping people find work in underserved communities. 36
