The City of New Haven is investing ARPA funds to enhance the career readiness for high-school age and young adult workforce, all leading to sustainable and well-paying careers. As one component of the Career Pathways strategy, this RFP seeks to provide funding to entities and organizations to develop or expand the infrastructure, programming, and wraparound supports needed to connect New Haven youth to meaningful career exploration, career-pathway-aligned curricula, hands-on skill building, and specialty practice certifications.
The purpose of these funds is to strengthen New Haven students’ career readiness in key skill-based sectors to ultimately help reduce the city’s racial wealth gap and facilitate school-to-workforce alignment. Consistent with the City’s public engagement and feedback on ARPA investments, programs with an entrepreneurial and small business focus are keys to sustainable economic power and a key part of the overall strategy.
Applications are due by Tuesday, November 15th. Learn more and apply here.
