Out-of-School Time Career Pathway Grant Opportunity
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Out-of-School Time Career Pathway (OSTCP) program is open to state educational agencies that have developed a partnership to provide students expanded options to participate in a career pathway program outside of regular school hours that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential, such as an industry‑recognized certification or a certification of completion of an apprenticeship in an in‑demand industry sector or occupation. There are two competitive preference priorities: 1) for programs that promote STEM; and 2) for programs that include students attending schools in rural areas. The 21st CCLC OSTCP program webpage includes the Notice Inviting Applications, informational webinar, and other relevant information. Questions can be sent to 21stCCLCcompetition@ed.gov. Applications are due Sept. 21, 2020.
