In any year in which the total amount appropriated under section 11 is an amount less than $50,000,000, the Secretary of Labor shall, from the amount appropriated under section 11 to carry out this section, allocate funds to eligible entities to support the recruitment, training, placement, and retention of women in nontraditional occupations. An allocation under this section shall be made to an eligible entity for not more than 2 years with the possibility of multi-year renewals upon submission of a renewal application containing information— about the effectiveness of the services and activities provided under section (5)(d)(1) using the funds made available under the first allocation; and any such additional information as the Secretary may require.
An allocation under this section to an eligible entity shall be of sufficient size and scope to support the effective implementation of the services and activities described in subsection (d). An eligible entity desiring to receive an allocation under this section shall submit an application to the Secretary of Labor at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary may require. An application shall provide a plan detailing the roles and responsibilities of partnership members and how funds will be used in conjunction with funding from other public or private sources to carry out the services and activities described in subsection (d).
In awarding grants under this section, the Secretary of Labor shall give priority to eligible entities that— include entities with demonstrated success in recruiting and preparing low-income women for nontraditional occupations, and local workforce boards created under the Workforce Investment Act; or leverage additional public and private resources to fund training programs, including cash or in-kind matches from participating employers. An eligible entity receiving funds under this section shall uses such funds to carry out the services and activities described in section 5(d).
Funds provided under this section shall supplement and not supplant other Federal, State, or local funds that would, in the absence of funds provided under this section, be available for the purposes described in this section.
