Summary
The county's workforce agency told the council it has enrolled roughly 500 displaced federal workers, reached out to about 2,000, and set aside roughly $200,000 in ARPA funds for transitional training, on‑the‑job training and stipends.
Employ Prince George’s presented a briefing on Oct. 27 about services for displaced federal workers, describing outreach efforts, a program budget and workforce supports aimed at helping furloughed or laid‑off federal employees transition to other employment.
Jeffrey Swilly, interim president and CEO of Employ Prince George’s, said the agency has directly enrolled roughly 500 federal workers in its services and previously reached out to about 2,000 workers registered with state unemployment services. The agency has used existing outreach and a January job and resource fair that drew approximately 1,000 job seekers and 60 employers as part of its engagement effort.
