SUBJECT: Change 2 to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 1-17,
Dislocated Worker Opportunity Grants
1. Purpose. To rescind TEGL 1-17 Dislocated Worker Opportunity Grants and TEGL 1-17,
Change 1 as funds are no longer available for this funding opportunity. In response to the
critical need posed by the clean-up and recovery required in the aftermath of Hurricane
Harvey, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is redirecting its funding
resources to areas within the State of Texas impacted by this storm and to other qualifying
events. As a result, the Dislocated Worker Opportunity Grant funding solicitation,
transmitted via Training and Employment Guidance Letter No. 1-17, is canceled.
