Dear Ms. Story,

I am reaching out to you to make you aware of today’s announcement by Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh of a new Department of Labor grant opportunity for community colleges.   The Employment and Training Administration’s second round of Strengthening Community Colleges Training Grants (SCC2) funding opportunity announcement was published today.  This funding opportunity seeks 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.

The Department is committed to ensuring broad awareness and application submission for this initiative, particularly for organizations that have not traditionally gotten our grant awards.  Toward that goal, I am reaching out to ask for your assistance in sharing this opportunity with your network of community colleges.  We’d appreciate your support in helping to share this opportunity and to encourage community colleges to develop and submit proposals.  I have attached today’s press release, as well as the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) below.
