Career Accelerator Incentives

The Career Accelerator Incentives grant program is designed to support individuals as they work towards economic security and stability, with a focus on Black, tribal, and Latine communities disproportionately impacted by the racial, social, and economic disparities caused by the war on drugs. Low-income and underemployed job seekers can receive training, support payments, financial coaching, and financial incentives of $1,000 per month as they achieve specific goals such as obtaining an industry-recognized or post-secondary credential, gaining measurable skills, finding employment, or reaching a certain median wage. The program provides $10 million of funding to help low-income individuals stay on a career pathway leading to a living wage career, with a focus on Black, Latine and Indigenous communities and equity. Local Workforce Development Boards will develop local policies and leverage their existing EcSA funding to provide additional services, such as navigation, career planning, training, supportive services, paid work experience, and career placement. All EcSA participants will be automatically eligible for matched savings programs, once developed by the CRP teams. Local Workforce Development Boards will conduct outreach and help interested EcSA participants enroll in matched savings programs, once available.
