Workforce Success Initiative FAQs

Does a proposal need to serve all of RHE?

No, it can be campus and/or community specific.

Does it have to be industry focused?

No.

Can the grant extend to multiple years?

No and Yes. The period of project funding shall be June 1, 2025 – May 31, 2026. However, successful applicants are permitted to apply again in subsequent years. We have seen this done with projects like WITS and HEAT camp (see examples from previous years).

Can the monies be used for stipends?

Yes, see: Faculty/Staff Compensation: Not to exceed 20 (twenty) percent of the total budget request of the application. If co-applicants, please delineate in the budget the percentage and dollar value intended in the budget for each co-applicant.
