Synopsis
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites eligible entities to submit competitive grant applications for the Refugee Career Pathways (RCP) Program. Through the RCP Program ORR will provide funding to implement projects assisting refugees to qualify for licenses and certifications necessary to attain employment and improve self-sufficiency. Under the RCP Program, ORR is requiring a partnership with at least one educational institution (i.e., university, college, community college, and other institution with expertise in career and technical education) to facilitate career opportunities in ways that supplement, rather than supplant, existing services. Programs implemented by an educational institution is required to partner with at least one refugee entity (i.e., resettlement office or other organization with programming specifically aimed at refugees and/or other eligible populations). Allowable activities include, but are not limited to, case management, training and technical assistance, specialized English language training, and mentoring. Grantees may also provide eligible refugee participants with financial assistance for costs related to the establishment or re-establishment of credentials, such as obtaining educational credits or enrollment in required certification programs.
