RFP: Improving Online Postsecondary Career and Technical Education
ECMC Foundation is accepting proposals from nonprofit organizations, postsecondary institutions, and government entities positioned to help community and technical colleges improve online postsecondary career and technical education (CTE) over the next two and half years. This competitive process will result in the selection of one organization (grantee) to receive a grant up to $2.5 million and lead a formal or informal coalition of nationally recognized organizations.
The coalition is expected to articulate best practices for transitioning hands-on learning to a virtual setting; help institutions incorporate learner-centered approaches, wraparound supports, and industry-informed pathways in an online environment; provide institution-specific guidance for faculty and staff; evaluate implementation efforts; and share learnings with the field.
Interested organizations must submit their concept via ECMC Foundation's online form. Submitted proposals must be centered on the overall goal of reducing completion gaps in online postsecondary CTE programs, especially for African American and Latinx students.
The deadline to apply is 3:00 PM (PT) on August 31, 2020. Final notifications will be issued no later than September 9, 2020.
