Perkins V Non-Traditional Careers and Training Grant

Palomar Community College District has been awarded a contract by the California Community Colleges Board of Governors for the Perkins V Non-Traditional Careers and Training Grant. The contract, identified as Encumbrance Only G1292-25, was executed on October 21, 2025, with a total contract value of $100,000.00. The award consists of two line items, both related to the Perkins V grant, with unit prices of $30,000 and $70,000 respectively.

The contract appears to be focused on supporting non-traditional career and training initiatives, likely aimed at expanding educational opportunities in fields where certain demographic groups are historically underrepresented. As an encumbrance-only contract, it primarily serves to allocate and reserve funding for specific programmatic purposes within the California community college system. The grant's objectives likely include promoting workforce diversity, providing specialized training, and supporting educational pathways for students pursuing careers in non-traditional sectors.
