Federal Grants:
Community-Based Job Training Grants (CBJTG)
Funding Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and
Training Administration
Funding Amount: Individual awards will range from $500,000
to $2 million.
Eligibility: In order to be eligible for consideration under
this solicitation, the applicant must be either: (1) An individual
Community or Technical College, (2) a Community College District,
(3) a state Community College System, or (4) a One-Stop Career
Center in partnership with its Local Workforce Investment
Board.
Description: The Community-Based Job Training Grants (CBJTGs)
are designed to
support workforce training for high-growth/high-demand industries
through the national system of community and technical colleges.
The primary purposes of these grants are to build the capacity
of community colleges to provide training and to train workers
to develop the skills required to succeed in local or regional
(i) industries and occupations that are expected to experience
high-growth and (ii) industries where demand for qualified
workers is outstripping the supply. It is ETA's expectation
that CBJTGs will contain at least seven critical elements.
These elements consist of: (1) A focus on skill and competency
needs of high-growth/high-demand industries that are Locally
Defined in the Context of the Regional Economy; (2) strategic
partnerships; (3) industry-driven capacity building and training
efforts; (4) leveraged resources; (5) replication of successful
models for broad distribution; (6) clear and specific outcomes;
and (7) integration with regional economic and talent development
strategies. CBJTGs are intended to drive the community college
and workforce investment systems to be more responsive to
the workforce demands of industry by making the products,
models,
and effective approaches that result from CBJTG investments
available to both systems. . Projects funded through CBJTGs
should leverage resources from key entities in the strategic
partnership. ETA also encourages applicants to integrate
WIA funding at the state and local level into their proposed
project.
Integrating WIA funds ensures that the full spectrum of assets
available from the workforce system is leveraged to support
capacity building and training activities. The wide variety
of WIA programs and activities provide both breadth and depth
to the proposed solution offered to both businesses and individuals.
The use of WIA funds also serves to embed the solutions-based
approach into the local or regional workforce investment
system, which strengthens the system's ability to become
more demand-driven.
