Description

On February 28, 2011, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced in the Federal Register the availability of approximately $122 million in grant funds for Career Pathways Innovation Fund grants, including $65 million for healthcare-focused projects. These grants will be awarded through a competitive process to local workforce investment boards (LWIBs), individual community and technical colleges, community college districts, state community college systems, and to two-year colleges that have been designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Grants under this SGA will continue DOL’s support for community colleges, with a particular focus on career pathway programs implemented by community colleges in partnership with other organizations in the community. This program replaces the Community-Based Job Training Grants.
