About this program
The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration funds community-based job training through CFDA 17.269, with the most recent grant award made on July 1, 2010—sixteen years ago. This program is inactive; no grant opportunities have been posted since March 31, 2011.
The program supported workforce training at community and technical colleges to prepare workers for careers in high-growth industries through competitive grants typically ranging from $1 million to $5 million. The portfolio distributed 304 total awards between 2005 and 2010, with annual award volume peaking in 2007 and 2008 at 73 and 69 awards respectively before declining to 41 awards in the final funding year. Combined federal dollars obligated reached $467.6 million, with non-federal cost-share bringing the total obligated to $495.4 million.
Grant assistance consisted almost entirely of Project Grants, which accounted for 99 percent of awards (301 grants); Cooperative Agreements comprised the remaining 1 percent (3 awards). The Department of Labor was the sole funding source across all 304 awards. Recent award magnitudes from the July 2010 cohort ranged from approximately $931,700 to $4.8 million, with awards such as Project Grant CB205781060A5 ($4.1 million) and Project Grant CB205651060A6 ($4.8 million) representing typical mid-to-upper-range funding levels.
The most recent grant opportunity posted by the Department of Labor on February 28, 2011 was the Career Pathways Innovation Fund (SGA-DFA-PY-10-06), which superseded the Community Based Job Training Grant program. That solicitation announced up to $122 million in funding with a March 31, 2011 deadline and restricted eligibility to Local Workforce Investment Boards, community and technical colleges, college districts, and state college systems, with at least $65 million reserved for health care sector projects. No active grant opportunities are currently posted under this Assistance Listing.
Objective and description
- Objective
Workers must have the skills needed to secure good jobs and pursue careers in high-growth, high-demand industries. Community colleges are important training providers for workers needing to develop, retool, refine, and broaden their skills in high-growth, high-demand occupations because of their close connection to local labor markets. In the FY10 budget, the Career Pathway Innovation Fund was announced, replacing the Community Based Job Training Grant program. This competitive grant program builds on the Community Based Job Training Grants, strengthening the role of community colleges in promoting the U.S. workforce's full potential, and focuses on career pathway programs at community colleges to help individuals of varying skill levels enter and pursue rewarding careers in high-demand and emerging industries. Career Pathways Innovation Fund Grants are awarded through a competitive process to support workforce training for workers to prepare them for careers in high-growth industries through the national system of community and technical colleges.
