Objective
Workers must have the skills needed to secure good jobs and pursue careers in high-growth, high-demand industries. Community colleges are important training providers for workers needing to develop, retool, refine, and broaden their skills in high-growth, high-demand occupations because of their close connection to local labor markets. In the FY10 budget, the Career Pathway Innovation Fund was announced, replacing the Community Based Job Training Grant program. This competitive grant program builds on the Community Based Job Training Grants, strengthening the role of community colleges in promoting the U.S. workforce's full potential, and focuses on career pathway programs at community colleges to help individuals of varying skill levels enter and pursue rewarding careers in high-demand and emerging industries. Career Pathways Innovation Fund Grants are awarded through a competitive process to support workforce training for workers to prepare them for careers in high-growth industries through the national system of community and technical colleges.

Eligible applicants could include community and technical colleges, consortia of community colleges, and two-year colleges that have been designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutions or Historically Black Colleges. Please refer to the Solicitation for Grant Application for specific eligibility.
Beneficiary Eligibility
Generally, the scope of potential trainees is very broad. Specific requirements are published in each Solicitation for Grant Application. WIA Section 171(d) authorizes demonstration programs to serve dislocated workers, incumbent workers, and new entrants to the workforce. This authorization supports a broad range of training for a variety of populations, including: incumbent workers who need new skills for jobs in demand up the career ladder or because the skill needs for their current job have changed; untapped labor pools such as immigrant workers, individuals with disabilities, veterans, older workers, youth, etc; or entry level workers who need basic skills and/or specific occupational skill training.
