## What the grant funds

This FOA now has two closing dates. The first closing date in 6/2/22 and the second closing date is 10/14/22 (see Amendment 2). This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the second round of Strengthening Community Colleges Training Grants (SCC2 or SCC3). For the purposes of this FOA, this training initiative has two parts: the standard program grants will be referred to as SCC2 or SCC3 Program Grants and the additional evaluation funds will be referred to as Additional SCC2 or SCC3 Evaluation Funding. The purpose of this program is to address two inter-related needs: 1) to increase the capacity and responsiveness of community colleges to address identified equity gaps, and 2) to meet the skill development needs of employers in in-demand industries and career pathways, as well as the skill development needs of underserved and underrepresented workers. Ultimately, these grants should build the capacity of community colleges to address identified equity gaps and meet the skill development needs of employers in in-demand industries and career pathways leading to quality jobs. These efforts will yield sustainable systems-level changes in education and training through collaboration between community colleges, employers and the public workforce development system that align education and training, work experiences, and industry-recognized credentials that lead to career growth.
