Gives grant priority to administrative entities that assure giving priority to low-skilled workers as program participants. Requires eligible participants to have been unemployed for at least 15 weeks and have sought employment during that period. Makes secondary school-age individuals (16 to 20 years old) eligible only if they have not attended a secondary school at any time during the previous six months.
