The funding, with a performance period from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2028, will support BRTC's development of workforce longitudinal databases and data quality enhancement efforts. Key objectives include connecting workforce data with education data, improving data quality, and developing interactive tools to provide insights into training program outcomes. BRTC, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, will utilize the grant to strengthen its workforce development programs and improve educational opportunities for underserved students in the local community and broader Arkansas region. As a sub-awardee, BRTC has also participated in Arkansas workforce training and adult education initiatives, further demonstrating its involvement in state-level projects to support data-driven decision-making in education and workforce development.
