California Employment Development Department – DAEI TA DE
Information
The California Employment Development Department has released the Disability Access, Equity, and Inclusion Project Technical Assistance and Developmental Evaluation Solicitation for Proposals for Program Year 2024-25.
The DAEI TA DE PY 24-25 awardee will assist the DAEI pilot program awardees as they design, develop, and implement projects that support lasting cross-systems collaboration, co-enrollment, co-case management, and cross training strategies between WIOA Title I and IV programs to improve employment outcomes for people with disabilities (PWD), and for conducting developmental evaluation that builds on lessons learned. The DAEI TA DE grant aims to increase access, equity, and inclusion of PWD in WIOA Title I and other workforce development programming, and to improve employment outcomes for this target population by providing necessary guidance and support to pilot awardees in their development of successful DAEI programs.
In collaboration with EDD and DOR, the TA DE awardee will be responsible for creating and sustaining a larger collaborative community centered upon the integrated service delivery model and the goals and objectives of the DAEI pilot. This includes facilitating connectivity among pilot awardees, assistance with coordinating local and regional connectivity to develop grantee networks, developing successful strategies, sharing best practices, and identifying and addressing challenges as they occur throughout the life of the grant. Program outputs, including progress and analytical reports, will inform adaptations, shifts, and recommendations to the work as new lessons emerge to support real-time feedback and learning.
