## Who can apply

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (including think tanks), and educational institutions are welcomed to apply for this funding opportunity. Other organizations may apply if in partnership with non-governmental, civil society organizations, and educational institutions. Applications may be from a single entity or a consortium, though individual entities may only participate in one application for this award. We especially encourage organizations from smaller and remote communities to apply for this program. All organizations must be based and legally registered in BiH. U.S.-based or other donor country organizations and individuals are not eligible for grants under this program. Grants are generally awarded only to organizations.

## What the grant funds

This program would afford individuals with disabilities the opportunity to receive training that would result in a meaningful career with vast potential and a demonstrable shortage of skilled individuals. Drawing on best practices for individualized learning styles, reasonable accommodation approaches, and technology solutions, this program should follow a-train-to-place model for public and private sector employers in BiH. This is an opportunity to invest in an untapped talent pipeline, developing the country’s workforce, and investing in future success, while shattering notions that people with disabilities cannot compete for fast paced technology jobs and careers. The project addresses a clear need in the public and private sector for cybersecurity professionals and provides people with disabilities improved social inclusion opportunities through employment.
