Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announced the Community Based Job Training Grants (CBJTGs) as a competitive grant opportunity intended to strengthen workforce training tied to high-growth, high-demand industries. The program is designed to channel training investments through the national network of community, technical, and tribal colleges, with the broader goal of helping workers gain marketable skills that align with real hiring needs in local and regional economies. Overall, ETA set aside an estimated total of about $125,000,000 for this solicitation, positioning it as a large-scale workforce development initiative focused on education-to-employment outcomes.
Eligible applicants are centered on institutions and systems that deliver postsecondary workforce training, along with workforce system partners that can connect training to employment services. Applicants may be an individual community or technical college (including public and nonprofit community colleges as well as tribally controlled colleges or tribally controlled universities), a community college district, or a state community college system. The opportunity also allows a One Stop Career Center to apply if it partners with its Local Workforce Investment Board and clearly identifies one or more community or technical colleges where the education and training activities will take place. In addition, eligibility extends to applicants proposing to serve an educationally underserved community that lacks access to qualifying community or technical colleges, as outlined in the solicitation's detailed eligibility section.
Funding levels were structured to support sizable training projects. ETA anticipated most awards would fall in the range of $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 per grant. A larger award range was available for consortium applications: proposals that include three or more community, technical, or tribal colleges could request between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. This consortium option signals an interest in multi-college collaborations that can scale training across regions or systems, share resources, and potentially serve more participants across multiple campuses.
The solicitation projected roughly 50 awards in total and did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces financial barriers for eligible institutions and partnerships. ETA also indicated an intention to direct up to $50,000,000 of the total funds to organizations that had never previously received a CBJTG award under earlier solicitations, which suggests an effort to broaden participation and bring new institutions into the program rather than repeatedly funding only past recipients.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant program under the Employment, Labor, and Training activity category. The funding opportunity number was SGA DFA PY 09 07, and the opportunity was posted on March 15, 2010. Applications were due by April 29, 2010, with a strict deadline of no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the announcement was later archived on May 29, 2010. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Janice Sheelor, a Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-693-3538.
