Announcing the Career Training for Everyone (CTE) Grant
Digital learning presents an opportunity to advance the career prospects of students attending rural and small schools. High quality career training courses and programs can help prepare students for high-wage, high-skills, in-demand careers. Rural and small schools, however, face a number of challenges that are sometimes unique or exacerbated by their remote geography or small size-- among them are course access and tight budgets.
Core-LX is pleased to announce the Career Training for Everyone (CTE) Grant - A Rural and Small Schools Career Technical Education Grant for the 2021-2022 School Year.
Purpose:
The Career Training for Everyone (CTE) Grant Program is designed to support rural and small schools as they innovate career learning and instruction, helping students access high quality, flexible, online CTE courses and programs that can provide career education options to students for whom otherwise many opportunities would be out of reach. This grant program allows schools to get started with or accelerate digital career learning.
Grants Awarded:
Rural/Small Schools Foundations Grant
Rural/Small School Matching Grant
Applicant Period:
Grant applications will be accepted from September 23 through October 15, 2021 @ 2 pm MST. The application is available on this site.
All applicants will be notified of their status on or before October 30th, 2021.
