DISCUSSION
In May of 2011, the Department of Labor announced the availability of approximately $240 million
in funds for an H -1 B Technical Skills Training Grants program authorized by the American
Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA). Funding for the grant comes
from user fees paid by businesses bringing in foreign workers into the United States with H -1 B
nonimmigrant visas.
The grant program is designed to provide education, training, and job placement assistance for
United States residents in the occupations and industries for which employers are using H-113
visas to hire foreign workers. Grants were made available to partnerships of private and public
sector organizations, which included: business - related non - profit organizations, educational
institutions, community colleges, community -based organizations, and organizations experienced
in administering the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA).
The Department of Labor awarded the City of Santa Ana, Santa Ana WORK Center (SAWC)
$4,997,479 to fund its Bridge to Engineering Program. The intent of the program is to provide
academic and peer support to pre- engineering students as they work their way toward an
engineering degree.
The program will recruit students from Santa Ana's High School Inc. Engineering Academy, local
high school S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering Math) programs, Santa Ana College, and
long term unemployed individuals. Participants will be guided through a four -year engineering
program with intensive academic support and placed in On- The -Job Training paid internships with
Santa Ana employers and other local companies.
The SAWC is part of a multi- agency consortium composed of three community colleges, including
Santa Ana College; three business - related non - profits; and three universities, including California
State University Fullerton and the University of California at Irvine. The project will establish a
structure at both the community college and university levels that will increase the participation of

underrepresented minorities and women in engineering and increase the supply of qualified
engineers in Orange County. The program design will include a special focus on math skills and
On the Job Training.
The SAWC will serve as the contractual and administrative lead agency and be responsible for
fiscal management, subcontracting, and grant reporting. It will also recruit, enroll and provide
support for program participants. The project will serve 290 people over a four -year period starting
from November 2011 to November 2015. Subcontracts with Santa Ana College, Saddleback
Community College, Canada College, University of California Irvine, California State University
Fullerton, Rapid Tech, Growth Sector, and OCTANe, will total $3,281,747.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the appropriation adjustment, funds will be available in the DOL Bridge to
Engineering account (no. 13218744 - various).

Summary: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S: Department of
Labor (DOL or the Department), announces the availability of approximately $240 million in
funds for an H -1 B Technical Skills Training Grants program. This grant program is designed to
provide education, training, and job placement assistance in the occupations and industries for
which employers are using ' H-113 visas to hire foreign workers, and the. related activities
necessary to supportt such training. H -1 B technical skills training grants are financed by a user
fee paid by employers to bring foreign workers into the United States under the H -1 B
nonimmigrant visa program. This technical skills training program was authorized under Section
414 (c) of the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA), as
amended (29 USC 2916a). Grant awards will be made only to the extent that funds are
available.
The Department will make awards to two'types of training grants: those that-provide On-
the -Job Training (OJT) to all participants and those that use other training strategies. Of the
awards granted through this Solicitation, at least-$150 million will be awarded to grantees that
provide OJT to all participants., Between the two types of grants awarded (OJT and other
training strategies), DOL intends to fund at least $45 million.to applicants proposing to provide
training for occupations in the health care industry and at least $60 million'to applicants that
serve long -term unemployed individuals. While this Solicitation is open, DOL anticipates that
additional funding will. accrue for this grant program. Such additional funding may be made
available for awards during the second round of funding, depending on the quality of
applications received.
Grants may be awarded to partnerships of private and public sector entities, which may
include: business - related nonprofit organizations, such as trade associations; education and
training providers, including community colleges and community -based organizations; and
41y
entities involved in administering the workforce Investment system established under Title I of

Section I Funding Opportunity Description
A. Overview
The United States supports a very large, diverse,. and innovative economy. Current
economic conditions have intensified the country's need to employ practical and effective
solutions to our most pressing socio- economic challenges, While the economy is showing
positive signs, the recession is still playing out in many parts of the country, including an
Increased number of layoffs. Job creation,has been slow in many urban and rural communities
which also has led to prolonged unemployment.. At the same time, there are still skill shortages
In some industries and occupations, and this grant program creates an opportunity to address
both issues.
In response to industry skill shortages in high- growth industries and occupations,
Congress established the H -1 B visa category for non - immigrants seeking work in high -skill or
specialty occupations, imposed a user fee, on employers for H -1 B applications, and set annual
limits on the number of H-113 visas granted. ACWIA, as amended, authorized the Department
to use a portion of those fees to finance an H -1 B Technical Skills Training Grant Program.. This
grant program is designed to provide. education, training, and job placement assistance in the
occupations and industries for which employers are using H -1 B visas to hire foreign workers,
and the related activities necessary to support such training.
The H -1 B Technical Skills Training Grant Program is intended to raise the technical,skill
levels of American workers so they can obtain or upgrade employment in high- growth industries
and occupations. Over time, these education and training programs will help businesses reduce
their use of skilled foreign professionals permitted to work in the U.S, on a temporary basis
under the H -113 visa program. While „ the occupations at H -113 skill levels are generally defined
as a bachelor's degree or comparable experience, education and training conducted through
this program is not limited to skill levels commensurate with 4 -year undergraduate degrees, and
can include the preparation of workers for employment along career pathways fora broad range
of occupations and industries in which employers are using H -1 B visas to hire foreign workers.
H-113 Technical Skills Training Grants are not intended to address entry-level skill shortages nor
may they fund programs aimed at imparting basic educational skills; however, applicants may
propose-courses that support technical skills development at the post - secondary level, e.g.,
math, science, or language courses directly related to technical skills training,
2 20A -13
B. Targeted Industries, Occupations and. Participants
Technical Skills Training Grants under this SGA will focus on high - growth industries and
occupations defined in ACWIA as those that: 1) are projected to add substantial numbers of
new jobs to the economy; 2) are being transformed by technology and innovation requiring new
skill sets for workers; 3) are new.and emerging businesses that are projected to grow; or 4) .
have a significant impact on the economy overall or on the growth of other industries and
occupations. To meet the legislative intent of training American workers to reduce the need for
foreign workers under the H -1 B visa program, applicants must design their education and
training programs to support industries and occupations for which employers are using H -1 B
visas to hire foreign workers. According to recent data, a wide range of industries may meet
these criteria in local and regional areas around the country.
Applicants should review the attached list of industries and occupations that are using
H -1 B visas to hire foreign workers (See Attachment A). This list is not'exhaustive and
applicants are advised to also refer to the Foreign Labor Certification Data Center Web site
( http : / /www.flcdatacenter.com /CaseH1 B.aspx) for the latest database of occupations approved
under H-1 B. petitions, For this Solicitation, ETA is particularly interested in training for
- -- occupations within the- following- industries:- information - technology- communlcation-and- - - -- - - - --
broadband technology, advanced manufacturing and health care.
ETA intends to fund at least $45 million to applicants proposing to provide training in the
health care industry (including Health Information Technology). The health care industry has
grown rapidly and is projected to grow in the future due to advances in medical knowledge and
the increased need for medical services required by an aging population. Of the 20 fastest
growing occupations, half are within the'health care industry. The absence of sufficient
numbers of qualified workers in this diverse sector threatens the quality and availability -of
medical care, and the economic stability and growth potential of local communities in rural,
urban, and suburban areas. Mdreover, the growing complexity of health care de. livery will
require workers to continuously upgrade their. skills.
. While grants will serve participants who maybe currently employed or unemployed, the
Department is. particularly focused on reaching those individuals who have been unemployed
the longest, and will work to ensure that at least $60 million In grant awards goes to those
applicants that focus on this population: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' December
2010 Employment Situation Summary, the long -term unemployed make up about 44 percent of
all unemployed workers. These unemployed workers may be near or past the exhaustion of
their unemployment benefits or may be discouraged from looking for work. They may need
additional assistance to enhance their skills to become re- employed.
C. Training Strategies and Allowable Activities
Applicants must propose projects that provide job training and related activities that are
designed to assist workers in gaining the skills and competencies needed to obtain or upgrade
employment in high - growth industries and occupations, or along the career pathways for such
industries and occupations. A career pathway may generally be defined as a system of career
options which allows opportunities for professional growth and upward mobility. Training under
this Solicitation may not be used for entry-level occupations, but should focus on occupations
along the career pathways that require higher skill levels. DOL will fund two types of training
programs: those that provide OJT to all participants, or those that use other promising training
strategies. With each type of training strategy, there are a number of activities that applicants
can include to ensure that the programs meet participants' needs.. All training strategies must:
1) target skills and competencies in demand by industries and occupations for which employers
are using H -1 B visas to hire foreign workers (see Attachment A); 2) provide education and
training for jobs currently available; and 3) whenever possible, result in an,industry recognized
credential. ETA encourages applicants to use program models with demonstrated success In
20A -14
.serving the eligible participants, especially those with strong program evaluations showing
positive impacts on participants.
1. ' On -the -Job Training (OJT)
ETA intends to commit at least $150 million to grants that employ training strategies that
provide On- the -Job. Training (OJT) to every participant, incumbent worker training does not
qualify for OJT and does not count toward the $150 million set aside. This does not preclude
the applicant from proposing and implenjonting other types of training strategies in support of
OJT, however, OJT must be a component of each participant's training strategy. OJT is
distinguished from other types of workplace training, including customized training, by several
factors: (1) participants are hired (or employed) and earn wages from employers during
training; (2) it Is based on an individualized training plan that reflects the results of an individual
skills assessment and an analysis of job requirements; (3) training is conducted in the work
setting under the direction of one or more of the employer's supervisory personnel; and (4) the
employer is paid a reimbursement to cover the extraordinary costs of the training.
OJT can bridge the divide between unemployment and employment by addressing gaps
in an individual's skill level. Individuals who participated in OJT in the past have demonstrated
.. - .-- - - - - - -- improved - labor - mar -ket attachment and- enhanced job tenures -- illustrated -by- higher - rates -of- job - -- -- - ---
placement and retention. OJT also offers participants a "learn and earn" training option,
allowing individuals to learn new skills while earning a regular paycheck.
2. Other Training Strategies'
Under the second type of training strategy (non -OJT) to be funded, applicants must not
offer OJT to participants. Other types of training strategies include b -ut are not limited to:
classroom occupational training; contextualized learning; distance learning; and customized
training, including incumbent worker training, for particular employers or groups of employers.
3. Activities that Support the Training Strategies
In implementing either type of training program, applicants may propose to use grant
funds for a wide range of activities that support.the direct education and training of eligible
participants including but not limited to the following:
o Developing math, science or language courses at the post - secondary level that are
integrated into the technical skills training;
0 Costs related to accrediting employer- and /or industry- recognized credentials;
® Other costs of program development such as using subject matter experts from
industry, education, and other areas to assist in curriculum design;
Developing and'implementing articulation agreements with universities and other
educational partners that allow for recognition of course credits in exchange for the education
and /or training provided;
® Recruitment of eligible participants;
® Initial assessment of skill levels, aptitudes, abilities, and competencies;
® Job search and placement assistance, as well as career counseling;
Supportive services that enable individuals to participate'in grant activities (see
Section IV.E.7); and
® Updating or replicating existing in curricula to support direct
education and training provided through the grant.
Activities that are not directly related to the development and implementation of
education, training, and other related services for high - growth industries for which employers
are using H -1 B visas are not allowable. activities under this grant. Applicants should refer to
Section VI of the SGA for a list'of relevant OMB Circulars related to cost principles,
administrative and other requirements that apply to this Solicitation and to Section ME for a
discussion of costs that are not allowable under this Solicitation.

intends to award at least $150 million to grantees that provide On- the -Job Training (OJT) to all
participants. The remaining funding will be awarded to applicants that'provide other training
strategies to participants. Across the two types of grants awarded (OJT and other training
strategies), DOL intends to award at least $45 million to applicants proposing to provide training
in the health care industry and $60 million to applicants proposing -to focus on the long -term
unemployed. These set - asides are not-mutually exclusive; In other,words, applicants can -
propose to' provide OJT'in the health care industry and if successful, their funding amount•will
count toward both set- asides. ETA reserves the right to change these amounts depending on
the quantity and quality of applications submitted under this SGA. DOL anticipates that
additional funding will accrue for this .grant training program between the first and second
__rounds oig rits GoAtain�� his S— digit afLon�u ch_- additianalJuadinq_may -b.e _mad- e_avaiiab.l.e__._

Applicants may only submit one application for each closing date; successful applicants
will only receive funding,for one grant. Applicants that submit more than one application to a
round of funding will be considered non - responsive, and none of their applications will be
considered for funding. If an applicant is not successful when submitting an application during
round one, it should note that ETA cannot ensure that applicants will receive a summary of the
panel's comments on the original application before the second closing date. Therefore, if an
applicant chooses to submit a second application for the later closing date, absent receipt of the
summary of the panel's comments, any changes to their original proposal will be made at their
own discretion.
Grants proposing the two types of training strategies (OJT and non -OJT) will be paneled
separately.
B. Period of Performance
The period of grant performance will be up to 48 months from the date of execution of
the grant documents. This performance period includes all necessary implementation and start-
up activities. Applicants should plan to fully expend grant funds during the period of
performance while ensuring full transparency and accountability for all expenditures.

5. SF -424, SF -424A and the Budget Narrative
The matching funds required of applicants who are proposing incumbent worker
activities must be shown on the SF -424 application and the SF -424A budget form. Please note
that any cash or in -kind resources beyond the 50 percent required match should be counted as
leveraged resources. Applicants must clearly make the distinction between what will be
considered matching funds and what will be considered additional leveraged resources.and
explain leveraged resources in the budget narrative separately from the explanation of match.
Do not include the leveraged funds on the 8F -424 or SF -424A. Applicants who are not
proposing incumbent worker activities should list no match amount on the SF -424 and SF -424A,
even if they are providing leveraged resources. Details on leveraged resources can be included
in the budget narrative.
For applicants proposing incumbent worker activities, the amount and nature of the
match must also be clearly described in the budget narrative as discussed in Section N.B.I.
The budget narrative must include a breakdown of the match that lists the amount of the cash
match; the amount of in -kind match; and the total match provided. If there is a discrepancy in
the amount of funds specified on the SF -424, SF -424A or Budget Narrative, DOL will consider
the amounts specified on the SF -424 as the applicant's match.
Applicants that fail to provide the required match information on the SF-424, SF -424A
and in the budget narrative will be found 'non-responsive to this SGA and their application will
not be considered for funding. There are no evaluation criteria or points associated with this
match requirement or the provision of leveraged resources.
6. Fulfilling the Match Requirement
Applicants are expected to fulfill the match amount specified on the SF -424 during the
grant period of performance. If the match amount specified is not met or If a portion of the
matching funds are found to be unallowable costs, the amount of DOL grant funds may be
decreased on a dollar- for - dollar basis. If this occurs, the grantee may be required to repay
funds to DOL.
7. Reporting Match-and Leveraged Resources
DOL grantees must track and report both match and leveraged resources quarterly on
ETA Form 9130. Instructions and the ETA Form 9130 may be found at

longest.
In order to be considered as an applicant focusing on this population, at least 75% of the
applicant's participants should be documented as long -term unemployed. While long -term
unemployed individuals are defined as those who have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more,
the Department is also interested in making sure that applicants have the. flexibility to serve
Individuals from their communities that have been unemployed the longest. Individuals who
have lost theirjobs during the recent recession (commencing from January 1, 2008 forward),
and have exhausted unemployment benefits, or have not yet reconnected with a job that
provides comparable responsibility and pay (underemployment), or who are working part -time
job(p) when they want a full -time job, or who have become discouraged and have stopped
looking for a job should be considered among the long -term unemployed. Applicants should .

service for veterans and spouses of certain veterans for the receipt of employment, training, and'
placement services in any job training program directly funded, in whole or in part, by DOL. The
regulations implementing this priority of service can be found at 20 CFR part 1010. in
circumstances where a grant recipient must choose between two equally qualified candidates
for a service, one of whom is a veteran or- eligible spouse, the veterans priority of service
provisions require that the grant recipient give the veteran or eligible spouse priority of service

An application submitted through Grants.gov constitutes a submission as an
electronically signed application. The registration and account creation with Grants.gov, with E-
Biz POC approval, establishes an AOR. When you submit the application through'Grants.gov,
the name of your AOR on file will be inserted into.the signature line of the application.

applicant organization as the AOR; this step is often missed and it is crucial for valid .
submissions.
When a registered applicant submits an application with Grants.gov, an electronic time
stamp is generated within the system when the application is successfully received by
Grants.gov. Within two business days of application submission, Grants.gov will send the•
applicant two email messages to provide the status of the application's progress through the
system. The first email, sent almost immediately, will contain a tracking number and will confirm
receipt of the application by Grants.gov. The second email will Indicate the application has
either been successfully validated or has been rejected due to errors. Only applications that
have been successfully submitted by the deadline and subsequently successfully validated will
be considered. It Is .the•sole responsibility of the applicant to ensure a timely submission. While
it is not required'that an application be successfully validated before the deadline for
submission, it Is prudent to reserve time before the deadline in case it is necessary to resubmit
an application that has not been successfully validated. Therefore, sufficient time should be
allotted for submission (two business days) and, if applicable, additional time to' address errors
and receive validation upon resubmission (an additional two business days for each ensuing
submission). It is important to note that if sufficient time is not allotted'and a rejection notice is
received after the due date and time, the application will not be considered.
To ensure consideration., the components of the application must be saved as .DOC
(document), .RTF (rich text) .XL.S (Excel) or .PDF (portable document) format (ETA must be
able to easily copy and paste information from applications into other file formats).. If submitted
in any other format, the applicant bears the risk that compatibility or other issues will prevent us
from considering the'application. ETA will attempt to open the document but will not take any . -
additional measures in the event of problems with opening. In such cases, the non - conforming
application will not be considered for funding.
We strongly advise applicants to use the various tools and documents, including FAQs,
which are available on the "Applicant Resources" page at

D. Intergovernmental Review
This funding opportunity is not subject to Executive Order 12372, "intergovernmental
Review of Federal Programs."
E. Funding Restrictions
All proposal costs.must be necessary and reasonable and in accordance with Federal
guidelines.. Determinations of•allowable costs will be made in accordance with the applicable
Federal cost principles. Disallowed costs are those charges to a grant that the grantor agency
or its representative determines not to be allowed in accordance with the applicable Federal
cost principles or other conditions contained in the grant.
Applicants, whether successful or not, will not be entitled to reimbursement of pre -award
costs. ;
1. Indirect Costs
As specified in OMB Circular Cost Principles, codified in the Code of Federal
Regulations'(CFR) and listed in Section VI.B, indirect costs are those that have been incurred
for common or joint objectives and cannot be readily identified with a particular final cost
objective. An indirect cost rate (ICR) is required when an organization - operates under more
than one grant or other activity, whether Federally- assisted or not. Organizations must use the
ICR supplied by the Federal Cognizant Agency. If an organization requires a new ICR or has a
pending ICR, the Grant Officer will award p temporary billing rate for 90 days until a provisional
rate can be issued. This rate Is based on the fact that an organization has not established an
ICR agreement. Within this 90 day period, the organization must submit an acceptable Indirect
cost proposal to their Federal Cognizant Agency to obtain a provisional ICR.

5. On- the -Job Training
Under this Solicitation, OJT will follow the definitions and requirements under the
16 20A -2.7
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) section 101(31). Incumbent workers are not eligible for OJT
under this SGA. OJT is provided under a contract with an employer in the public, private -
nonprofit, or private sector. Through the OJT contract, occupational training is provided for the
the
grant participant in exchange for the reimbursement to the employ r nup to 50 d r dual fThe
wage rate to compensate for the employer's extraordinary costs
employer pays wages to the participant. Section 667.264 of the WIA regulations specifically
prohibit grant funds from being spent on payment of wages of Incumbent employees. For
complete information on the specific WIA parameters for OJT, please refer to WIA regulations
20 CFR 663.700 — 663.710, as well as 20 CFR 663.730. Applicants will be required to follow
A law and regulations with the following policy
the parameters for OJT included in the WI
exceptions:
® Eligible participants cannot be currently employed by the employer;
• Participant placements may only occur in private for - profit and non - profit sectors (.i.e.,
sector placements);
the grant does not allow for public .
® encies providing workers on a temporary bask to
No placement may be made in ag
employers for which the agency receives compensation from the employer;
The- period -o# reimbu senient- should- be- an-adequate- length-to °ensure- the- participant-has
acquired the technical skills needed for employment but no longer than 12 months.
Individuals may not be co- enrolled in other ETA programs for the purpose of extending
OJT beyond 12 months. Twelve months exceeds the average length.of time for current.
WIA OJT activities, so grantees should negotiate contracts with employers that lead to
transitioning participants to permanent employment as soon as possible. DOL's
expectation Is that grantees would.establish contracts that may be longer than 12_
months, however, the reimbursement for each individual that participates in OJT cannot
be longer than 12 months.
Typically, the negotiated reimbursement percentage for OJT under WIA may be as high
as 50 percent of the participant's hourly wage. However, for grants awarded under this
Solicitation, the negotiated reimbursement percentage may be as high as 90 percent of the
participant's hourly wage based on employer.size: up to 90 percent of the participant's wage
rate for employers with 50 or fewer employees; up to 75 percent of the participant's wage rate
for employers with 51 -250 employees; and up to 50 percent for employers with more than 250
employees. Grantees are also encouraged to negotiate lower rates.or variable rates (such as
starting at 90 and reducing the subsidy over time) where possible to ensure that the maximum
number of participants Is served by the project.
Finally, upon receipt of a graht, applicants must develop sound on- the - job - training (OJT)
contracts. The contract process sets the ground -rules for an OJT with an employer and assists
in making the determination if an employer is eligible to provide an OJT opportunity. The
contract must include the federally- required elements of an OJT agreement; however, states,
counties or municipalities may have additional contract requirements.' Contracts also outline the
terms and conditions that the employer -and OJT provider agree to. provide for an OJT
experience. Contracts with an employer can be set up for a specific period of time but need not
necessarily specify the individual trairees to whom they apply. This allows the employer to
provide training to more than one trainee. If an employer only has one position or plans to limit
the training experience to one employee, then a contract must also include the individual
trainee's information. For these grants, contracts must provide that the employer is responsible
far documenting skills gained by participants during the training period. It should also include a
description of how the reimbursement level was determined. For sample templates and other
resources, grantees may access ETA's on -line technical assistance related to an OJT contract

6. Payments to s Participant
For the purposes t grants awarded s SGA, the following will apply:
, under this
Organizations may only use grant funds to pay for the wages of participants in three specific
activities; paid work experience, paid Internships and incumbent worker- training.
I. Work Experience and Internships
Work experience and Internships are defined as a planned, structured learning
experience that takes place in a workplace for a limited period of time, and may be paid or
unpaid. Labor standards apply in any work experience where an employee /employer
relationship, as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), exists. For more information
on the FLSA, applicants may visit http: / /www.dol.gov /whd /.
For a work experience or internship that supports training, applicants will need to
descrlbe how the work experience or internship Is connected to and supports the education and
training activities included in the grant. Grantees have flexibility in the design and
implementation of work experience and internships, however they must meet the following
parameters:
• Provide an individual with monitored or supervised work or service experience in his
- -or- her - expected - career - field - where- the - individual- has - pre -sera bed - learning - goals - and- refleets - - - - - -- —
actively .on what he or she is learning throughout the experience. These learning goals can
include a) academic learning, career development, and skill development, and b) the
attainment ot credentials in the inclivic uai's expected career field;
• Are part of structured programs where the grantee established the criteria for
determining who will participate in these programs;
a Are for a set period of time;
Relate to training provided through the grant, and help participants prepare for the
employment opportunities on which the grant focuses; and
®- Mayor may not carry an offer of regular employment upon successful completion of
the internship.
fl. Incumbent Worker Salaries
For applicants that are Implementing other training strategies and not implementing OJT, the
following applies:
® Incumbent worker salaries paid by the employer are NOT allowable costs to be
reimbursed under this grant; however, for the purposes of this grant, the amount of salary,
excluding fringe benefits, paid to employees while participating in incumbent worker training
may be counted as matching resources.
7. Use of Funds for Supportive Services
Under this Solicitation, supportive services for training participants will follow the
definitions in WiA Sections 101 (46) , 134(e)(2), and 134(e)(3). They Include services such as
transportation, child care, dependent.care, and housing that are necessary to enable an
individual to participate in education 'and training activities funded through this grant. Under
WIA Section 134(e)(3), supportive services can include needs- related payments (NRPs) that
are necessary to enable individuals to participate in training activities funded through this grant.
Supportive services activities may include, but are not limited to, provision.of the actual
supportive.service (Le.* childcare); providing participants with a voucher for the service (i.e.
public transportation cards or tokens); or providing a stipend directly to the participant.
Applicants should note that where stipends for supportive services are provided, the stipend
amount must be for costs of a specific supportive service (i.e. childcare), rather than simply
based on an unidentified need.
For the purposes of this SGA, grantees, using either training strategy, may use up to
10% of grant funds to provide supportive services only to individuals who are participating In
18
20A -29•
education and training activities provided through the grant when: 1) they are unable to obtain
such services through other programs, and 2) such services are necessary to enable individuals
to participato in education and training activities under the grant. Grantees may establish limits
on the provision of supportive services or provide their subrecipients with the authority to
establish such limits, including a maximum amount of funding and maximum length of time for
supportive services to be available to participants. *Grantees must ensure that their use of grant
funds on supportive services is consistent With their organization's established written policy on
the provision of supportive services and relevant WIA regulations.. Additionally, ETA
encourages grantees to leverage other sources of funding for supportive services, including
WIA formula funds.
8. Prohibition- on Use of Funds for Economic Development
General economic development projects, including revolving loan accounts, do not meet
the H -1 B requirements for training and dpvelopment of job opportunities in high - growth
industries and occupations. Examples of general economic development that may not meet this
standard include but are not limited to infrastructure investments in businesses, increases in
i .nv-entor_y_,_par-ticipatian-in_ trade_ shows,_ revolving- loan -accoun.ts� -new or- additional - equipment - --
used for purposes other than training activities, capital asset purchases, and other costs not
specifically related to increases in actual job opportunities.
9. Sub -Grant Profit
For commercial organizations, the earning of profit Is not an allowable cost item. For
governmental, non - profit, and public or bon- profit educational institutions, earnings above actual
costs incurred are to be treated as program income: Any program income earned must be used
for program purposes.
F. Other Submission Requirements
Withdrawal of Applications: Applications may be withdrawn by written notice to the
Grant Officer at any time before an award is made.

applications that focus on other training strategies. A technical review panel will carefully
evaluate applications against the selection criteria. These criteria are based on the policy goals,
priorities, and emphases set forth in this. SGA. Up to 100 points maybe awarded to an
application, depending on the quality of the responses to the required information described in
Section V.A. Applications that propose to implement OJT will be reviewed with other OJT
applications, and applications that focus on other training strategies will be paneled with those
proposing -to- implement- other - training- stl -ategies. —
The ranked scores will serve as the primary basis for selection of applications for
funding, in conjunction with other factors such as urban, rural, and geographic balance; balance
across the allowable training strategies and activities under this SGA; balance across high -
growth industries.and occupations targeted through this SGA, including emphasis on the health
care industry; emphasis on serving long -term unemployed Individuals; the availability of funds;
and which proposals are most advantageous to the government. The panel results are advisory
in nature and not binding on the Grant Officer. The Grant Officer may consider any information
that comes to his /her attention.. The government may elect to award the grant(s) with or without
discussions with the applicant. Should a grant be awarded without discussions, the award will

Attachment B: Health Care Occupations
1. Allied Health
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) defines the term "allied health professional" as meaning
an individual who graduated with an allied health professions degree or ceriificate,*and is
employed as an allied health professional in a health care setting. • The' Association of Schools
of Allied Health Professionals expands upon its definition to include a cluster of health
professions that covers as many as 100 occupational titles, and employment growth is seen for
medical assistants, respiratory therapists, pharmacy technicians, emergency medical
technicians, and clinical lab technologists working in hospitals, home health care, medical
laboratories, and ambulatory care settings.
Allied health specialties are likely to evolve over the next several years, and occupations
in this complex sub - sector will continue to grow with the rest of the health care industry.
Changes in the way that medical care is provided are producing substantial demand for
technicians who can operate. advanced medical equipment. This Increasing demand will involve
not only new facilities and services, but more employees needed. across a wide range of
occupations requiring varying levels of education and training.
_ — -1n- 201-0, -in- response -to - public.- comments - solicited . in -a- 2008- F- ederal- R-egiste"— oticerthe --�
Bureau of Labor Statistics .(BLS) added Community Health Workers (CHWs) to the Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Community health workers, also known as
promo oras -or promo ores,. asses m vvi ua s an commune ies o a opt ea y e aviors,
particularly in areas where substantial health hazards exist. Occupational growth for community
health workers•is also projected as communities seek to build effective linkages with the health
care system to provide health education and information, advocate for underserved individuals
to receive appropriate services, and' build the capacity of the community in addressing health
issues.
ii. Nursing
Recent trends in the delivery of health care services increasingly rely on highly skilled
nurses working with allied health professionals in supporting clinical roles. Nursing roles range
from primary patient care to case management and directing complex health care systems.
Career pathway programs with articulated credit agreements can ease transitions for graduates
of nursing education and training programs at community colleges, and help transfer students
qualify for entry-level and mid -level nursing positions.
Increasing demand for medical care, rehabilitation, nursing, and long -term care will
broaden the range of healthcare occupations and require varying levels of education and
training. With further education and training, Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), direct support
professionals; home health aides, medical assistants, and personal apd home care aldes may
advance to higher -level positions or transfer to new occupations within healthcare industry
settings. Skill certifications and credentials may include licenses, certificates, and degrees from
accredited nursing programs that lead to the Associate Degree of Nursing (ADN) or vocational
licensure for Licensed Practical Nurses, and positions as CNAs. Career pathway programs can
help individuals develop competencies that are relevant across a number of occupations
enabling incumbent workers to advance from an ADN to the bachelor's degree in nursing
(BSN).
Iii. Health information Technology
Health information technology (HIT) makes it possible for health care providers to better
manage patient care through secure use and sharing of health information. Health IT includes
the use of electronic health records (EHRs) instead of paper medical records to maintain
people's health information. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health (HITECH),Act seeks to improve American health care delivery and patient care through
32 20A -43
an unprecedented Investment in HIT,. The provisions of the HITECH Act are specifically
designed to offer the necessary assistance and technical support to providers, enable
coordination and alignment within and among states, establish connectivity to the public health
community in case of emergencies, and assure the workforce is properly trained and equipped
to be meaningful users of EHRs.
The transition from traditional, paper -based medical files to EHR technologies will
expand career pathways in health information'management and technology. HIT jobs will be
created in hospitals, physicians' offices, home healthcare and outpatient clinics, and residential
care facilities. Career pathway projects can support the health information workforce by using a
variety of learning strategies for individuals who want.to specialize in the management of health
information,. as well as workers who must use HIT to perform the duties of their jobs.

project will provide intensive, cohort -based learning communities that will increase the participation
of underrepresented minorities -and women in engineering and increase the supply of qualified
engineers in Orange County. Our needs analysis shows that most community college students,
whether dislocated workers returning to school or. young adults who have been unemployed or
underemployed, do not have the math skills to enter an engineering major or any other technical,
science or math major, OC B2E is based on a successful cohort and bridge model which is currently
i
being implemented for dislocated workers in the Bay Area. OC B2E combines O%iopportuajacs

in engineering for all participants with intensive'academic coursework, dedicated support and
mentoring, and a replicable, accelerated bridging curriculum to ensure that unemployed adults can
succeed in engineering - 'required math and science courses within nine months of enrollment.
Santa Ana and Saddleback Community Colleges will each recruit and enroll one cohort of 35
students per year for the first three years of the grant. Each coh4xt will work with a full-time Student
Support Specialist based at their college; receive intensive academic tutoring and study skills,
participate in hands -Qn Summer Engineering Institutes, and be placed in an OJT after they have
completed lower - division engineering requirements. OC 132E will also assist cohorts in transferring
to 'a four -year university to receive a B.S.
Meanwhile CSUF and UCI will recruit an- average of 10 engineering students per year from
among their student body to receive additional academic support, counseling, transfer assistance, an
OJT placement, and access to Summer Engineering Institutes.
Canada College and San Francisco State University will provide technical assistance in
implementing the Bridge to Engineering accelerated, contextualized math /science curriculum.
OC 13211 addresses Southern California employers' acute need for highly skilled engineering
graduates and accelerates students into articulated engineering pathways between community
colleges and the California State University and University of California systems. OC 132E results in
a Computer Assisted .Drafting (CAD) credential for a1C program com Peter s. OC B2E will
give unemployed adults a supported opportunity to progress from pre - college math to a B. S.

Orange County Bridge to Engineering
Technical Proposal
The Orange County Bridge to Engineering (OC B2E) partnership, with the Santa Ana Work-
force Investment Board (SA WIB) as the lead applicant, brings together Saddleback (SB) and Santa
Ana (SAC) Community Colleges, California State University Fullerton (CSUF), University of Cali-
fornia Irvine (UCI), and statewide workforce interinediary Growth Sector. OC B2E will provide in-
tensive, cohort -based learning communities that will increase the participation of underrepresented
minorities and women in engineering and increase the supply of qualified engineers in Orange
County. Canada Community College and San Francisco State University (SFS'U) will provide techni-
cal assistance in implementing the Bridge to Engineering model, based on a similar cohort and
bridge model which is currently being implemented for dislocated wotkets in the Bay Area.
OC B2E addresses Southern California employers' acute need for engineering graduates, pro-
vides OJT opportunities in engineering, and accelerates students into articulated engineering path-
ways that exist between- community colleges (CCs) and the California State University and University
of California systems. Recognizing that lack of math skills is a significant barrier to entry to engi-
neering careers, OCB2E incorporates an intensive math Bridge that enables students to cut math
remediation time from 2' /z years to nine months. Building on this Bridge, OCBM willglve un-
employed adults a supported oppottu -aity to ptogtess from pte- collegemath to a B.S, in Efi-
gr`rleeting within Five years.

Targeted high - growth occupation(s): The OC B2E partnership is targeting engineering oc-
cupations as listed in Table 1, below, which are in high demand among Orange County employers,
as well as in neighboring Los Angeles and San Diego Counties
Evidence of demand among employers requesting H1B visas: Table 1 shows that all of
the occupations we are targeting are listed as top HlB occupations by the Department of Labor's

The demand for. engineers in all areas of specialization is high both in California and among
employers requesting H1B visas, and OC B2E will enable participants to transfer from CCs through
pre - articulated pathways to a wide range of engineering programs at a number of California State
University (CSU) and University of California (UC) campuses.
Enginceringis high growth according to all of the factors gamed in the SGA: 1) It is
projected to add substantial numbers of new jobs to the economy - well over 50,000 in California by
2018, according to the state EDD LMID. 2) It is being transformed by technology and innovation
requiring new skill. sets. Engineering is constantly transforming itself through innovation and new
technologies, requiring new skills for incumbent workers as well as constant evolution of engineer-
ing curricula for those being.frained for engineering careers. 3) It includes a wealth of new and
emerging businesses that are projected to grow. One of our employer association partners is OC-
TANe, the Orange County networking association for the technology industry, with over 100 small
business members (fewer than 100 employees). 4) Engineering has a significant impact on the econ-
omy overall and on the growth of other industries and occupations. Many economists believe that
innovation drives economic growth. Carl Schramm, who heads the Kauffman Foundation, a leading
think tank studying entrepreneurship, told a Forbes contributor in October 2010, "The single most

important contributor to a nation's economic growth is the number of startups that 'grow to a billion
dollars in revenue within 20 years. "z Engineers -- the bridge between scientific theory and business
practice -- are what drive startups.
Skills, credentials, education and training necessary for entry into or retention in engi-
neering: Generally, employers are seeking a Bachelors of Science degree in Engineering. In addition,
OCTANe's employer members are telling Executive Director Matthew Janusaids that new engineer-
ing graduates who have had hands -on workplace experience and have worked on projects in teams
are their preferred candidates.

employers face a skills gap and.training gap. In Science, Technology; Engineering, and Mathe-
matics (STEM) fields, our nation's public education system is failing students, particularly low-
income students of color. The National Academies deport that:
"Underrepresented minorities - including African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Ameri-
cans - comprised just over 9% of minority college - educated Americans in science and engineering
occupations in 2006, the report notes. This number would need to triple to match the share of mi-
norities in the U.S. population. And to reach a national target that 10 % of all 24- year -olds hold an

undergraduate degree in science or engineering disciplines, the number of underrepresented minori-
ties would need to quadruple or even•quintuple.i3
Women are also underrepresented in STEM majors, a trend that starts in high school. Of the
1.39 million average PSAT takers each year from 2003 -2007, only 2% of girls stated interest in an
engineering major, compared to over 15% of boys. At Canada College, which has Worked with San
Francisco State to help develop the Bridge to Engineering model, among students with declared
STEM majors, incoming Mexican American and African American students have the highest per-
centages of students placing into Pre - algebra, indicating that they need additional preparation in
math to enable them to enter and succeed in calculus at the college level. According to Canada engi-
neering professor Dr. Amelito Enriquez, an OC B2E instructional design team lead;
"Most STEM majors require two years of courses that include calculus and physics. A
student who starts at Pre - algebra has an additional two and a half years of mathematics before they
are ready for Calculus. Hence, for Mexican American students at Canada who want to major in en-
gineering, 34.5% of them would need at least three and a half years, 24.1 %would need at least four
years, and 31 % of them would need at least four and a half years in a CC hefote they can even
transfer to a four. -year university."
The burdens of an additional 2.5 years of developmental math - which many students find
humiliating and discouraging - are not conducive to underrepresented minorities' success in STEM
majors, The Dean of Business and Engineering at Saddleback College says, "At Saddleback College
over the past several years, on average 70% ofentedpg students are deficientin xmadi or English
and are not able to take a transferable, college level course in either subject without prior remedia-
tion." 'Tracking students through traditional developmental math classes takes too long and loses too
many students along the way.' There is a clear need for a pathway that combines accelerated math
with support services to retain students and promote transfer to four -year engineering programs.

ii Targeted Population
Recruitment and selection process for program participants. The OC B2E recruitment
process will include a multi- partner outreach campaign that encompasses One -Stop Career Centers,
CCs (both our partner colleges and the other colleges within their districts), including their veterans'
programs and centers, and EDD Veterans Services. A Student Support Specialist hired for this pro-
ject will coordinate outreach and recruitment with partners and the Project Director, make presenta-
bons,. and meet one -on -one and in groups with prospective students.
While we are not specifically targeting long -term unemployed individuals, 47% of all unem-
ployed workers in the state have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more, and over 400,000 Califor-
nians have exhausted their 99 weeks of unemployment benefits.' We will target the unemployed,
long -term unemployed, and underemployed workers who are committed to a major career shift. We
will- also particularly target disadvantaged adults with little significant workplace experience.
Criteria used to as and enroll individuals for H -1B level education and training.
Participants will need to have at least a high school diploma or GED; test into at least 8"' -9th grade
reading and math level, and demonstrate commitment tq the OC B2E cohort model. Recruitment
and orientation will stress the year -round commitment to coursework, summer institutes, and a
third -year paid practictun (OJT) concurrent with a full academic load: A Steering Committee will
advise the CC partners on candidates for inclusion in OC B2E.
Role of the employer partner(s) in participant selection. The OC -B2E will prioritize mov-
ing students from pre - algebra math skills to completion of UC /CSU transfer requirements in no
more than three years. Employer partners will be interviewed regarding skills and attributes that en-
able an engineering student to make a successful transition to the workplace. Those employers who
sit on the OC B2E steering committee will have direct input into participant selection

ods to recruit diverse participants. The existing engineering pipeline nationally is heavily skewed
toward Caucasians (68 %), Asian Americans (10 %) and foreign nationals (5 %)G The large majority of
engineering students are male (83 %). As the percentage of Latinos grows in California, and the per-
centage of women in higher education also increases, increasing workforce diversity is vital to the
state's economic competitiveness.
OC B2E has two major aims: (1) to increase the supply of qualified engineers in the Southern
California workforce, and (2) to create a pathway to engineering careers that is accessible to and sup-
portive of underrepresented minorities (particularly Latinos) and women, Therefore, increasing the
diversity of the workforce through recruiting and enrolling Latino, African- American, and female
unemployed and dislocated workers will be a primary focus at every level. The beauty of the Bridge
to Engineering model is that it creates access for students whose path to STEM majors and careers
has been barred by poor math preparation at the secondary level. OC B2E reaches beyond the tiny
minority of graduating high school seniors who are prepared for college calculus and opens the
pathway to'all adults. Selection of OC B2E participants, then, will positively affect the diversity of
the program.
We anticipate serving approximately 290 students over the four years of the H1B grant. We
aim to recruit at least 100 Latino and African- American participants and at least 100 female partici-
pants through active outreach and recruitment to Orange County One -Stop Career Centers, veter-
ans' service organizations, incoming CC students, and current students who are participating in Ex-
tended Opportunity Programs -and Services Table 3. Student. Demo ra hies at OC B2E CCs

Prerequisites for proposed training; minimum educational requirements for trainees;
how these requirements position trainees to enter H1B occupation. As noted above, all high
school graduates /GED holders with an interest in and commitment to the program will be eligible
to apply. The Core Engineering Bridge positions trainees to enter the articulated engineering path-
ways and enter engineering occupations at a professional level.
Employers' commitment to hire program; anticipated wages graduates. OCTANe em-
plovers have indicated strong interest in potentially hiring OC B2E graduates, who will be prepared
to enter H1B engineering occupations at annual wages of $65,000-$75,000 /year. The attached. Letter
of Commitment, representing more than 17 employers, demonstrates that employees are eager to
hire third -year OC B2E students through OJT contracts and maintain successful OJT trainees as
employees for at least one full year. We anticipate that wages for OJT placements will average
$17 /hour for positions such as Engineering Technician Trainee and Computer Assisted Drafting

Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) of Orange County will all serve as sources of OJT place-
merits. All OJTs will last for a minimum of 26 weeks and include an individualized learning plan'for
the trainee, signed off by 'the placement supervisor.
SAGE Scholars will provide OJT placements, business readiness classes, and mentori_ng for
UCI students in Years 1 -4. In Years 1 -3, SAGE will recruit from among the UCI engineering stu-
dent pool, focusing on underrepresented minorities and women, and in Year 4, SAGE Scholars will
work with the first OC B2E CC transfers to UCI. (SAGE Scholars places UCI students, primarily
first- generation college - goers, in work experience related to their field of study, with companies such
as Broadcom, Abbott Medical Optics, Parker Aerospace, Western Digital, and Medtronic.)
OCTANe and AMUG will both be subcontracted partners in OC B2E, charged with recruit-
ing employer members to provide OJT placement opportunities for OC B2E CC cohorts and CSUF
engineering students. OCTANe has already lined up OJT slots with Allergan, Aubrey Group,
Bausch & Lomb Surgical, Emulex, Experian, Intersect Partners, Med Focus, Microsern , Sequent
Medical, Source Scientific, Vertos Medical, Edwards and others. AMUG has been brought into the
partnership more recently but anticipates strong interest in placing engineering students in OJTs.

How applicant and partners will develop and implement the career training pro-
gram(s). OC B2E is adapting cohort and bridge models that have worked successfully in the past
through gateways to bio -tech, energy, and utility careers, and in current pathways to teaching. In ad-
dition, Growth Sector and Bay Area workforce partners are currently developing a pathway to engi-

neering for dislocated workers at' Chabot College in Hayward. Articulation pathways for engineering
have already been developed among many community colleges and CSUs, in part funded by a grant
from the Bechtel Foundation in collaboration with -the CSU Chancellor's office. SFSU is currently
working with Chabot College to develop the Core Engineering Bridge curriculum and adapt it for
students who test into pre - algebra levels. SFSU and Canada College will provide technical assistance
to SFSU, Saddleback and Santa Ana in integrating the Math Jam model into the early weeks of the
Core Engineering Bridge. CSU Fullerton and UC Irvine will also participate in the development of
additional articulation agreements for biomedical and computer engineering pathways that start with
the community colleges.
Ensuring that work be immediately to deliver training and assistance with job
placement to participants. OC B2E, while it involves longer -term academic education, has a
strong workforce development focus exemplified by employer Work Readiness components of OC
B2E, including job shadowing and field trips to companies that employ engineers in varying special-
ties. Work readiness will start at the launch of each cohort's OC B2E -experience with an engaging
"Orientation to Engineering," field trips and guest speakers from industry, coordinated by Rapid -
Tech. Work readiness will also include workshops on researching, applying for, and interviewing for
jobs; communication, conflict management, teamwork, and other workplace readiness skills, pro-
vided through our WIB partners.
Our OC education partners will begin placing engineering students in OJTs starting in Year 1,
working with students who have completed their first two Years of engineering requirements at
CSUF and UCI. OCTANe will dedicate staff time to member outreach, OJT coordination, and work
experience coordination among its members from the outset of the grant: SAGE Scholars Program
at UCI will also be subcontracted to place UCI students in OJTs with its employer partners, while
CSUF will work with OCTANe and AMUG.
Degrees and industry- recognized credentials. All OC B2E graduates will xeceive a certifi-
cation in Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) and an associate's degree or completed transfer requite-

our OC B2E students on to four -year universities, whether CSU Fullerton or Long Beach, Untver-
sity of California Irvine, another CSU or UC campus, or a private college. The comp letion of trans-
fer requirements to four -year universities' engineering programs is a critical step for students in be-
coming qualified engineers with the B.S. degrees required by most employers.
How project directly addresses identified skills and training gaps. Our CC partners
without exception identify math skills, and particularly calculus competency, as the single biggest
barrier to creating more home -grown engineers. By condensing the time required for students to
become calculus ready, providing them with tutoring and supports, hands -on experience, and cohort
based learning, OC B2E directly addresses the most daunting skills gap standing between students,
particularly African American and Latino students, and lucrative, in- demand engineering careers.

ii. Cost per Participant and Ability to Report Outcomes
OC B2E is an ambitious program that aims to move participants into highly paid professional
positions in engineering. There are few intermediary jobs on the engineering career pathway, and
demand is low for those jobs.' Therefore, our plan is to invest*in developing a model that moves
participants all the way through a Bachelors of Science degree, while concurrently building.their
practical skills through OJT placements.
Tracking Systems. The SA WIB and all partners directly serving participants will collect par-
ticipant- level.data on participants enrolled, completing, exiting prior to completion of training, em-
ployment outcomes, and further training outcomes: Partners will also track race /ethnicity and gen-
der of OC B2E participants to see how the project is meeting its goals of increasing participation of
underrepresented minorities and women in the engineering workforce.
SAC is a key partner in the Santa Ana Partnership, consisting of the Santa Ana Unified School
District' the City of Santa Ana, SAC, CSUF, and UCI. The.Partriership uses a common database to
track academic outcomes and employment outcomes when students enter the workforce. Saddle-
back College will provide additional data to be entered into the Santa Ana Partnership system. OC
B2E case managers at SA W1B will follow up on.participants through EDD payroll records, phone
contact, email, and OC B2E social networking web pages, and enter data into the JTA system.
As part of the ongoing Bridge to Engineering initiative spearheaded by Growth Sector, OC
B2E will also seek private funding to supplement this data gathering with a phone survey of employ-
ers and graduates. The survey would interview graduates six months and two years after entering the
workforce full-time, to find out what was helpful in B2E curriculum and services; what needed im-
provement; what was unexpected, etc. Employers would be interviewed about graduates' academic
preparation, readiness for the workplace, and skills acquired through Summer Institutes and OJTs,
