Dear Colleagues,
The Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE), of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) will conduct an independent peer review for the Education Stabilization Fund – Reimagine Workforce Preparation Grants Program (ESF-RWP) and is seeking qualified individuals to read, discuss, and score grant applications during the period August 27-September 4, 2020.
The purpose of the ESF-RWP Grants Program is to provide support to help states with the highest coronavirus burden create or expand short-term education and training opportunities and/or career pathways programs that help citizens return to work, become entrepreneurs, or expand their small businesses; or to enable states to create or expand small business incubators that offer education and training, mentorship, as well as shared facilities and resources that will help small businesses recover and grow and new entrepreneurs thrive.
We need workforce development, postsecondary education, adult education, and industry leaders to provide critical expertise to the review process through service on the peer review panels. For more information, including how to apply, what subject areas are needed, etc. please read the full call for reviewers here: https://community.lincs.ed.gov/group/27/bulletin/octae-call-peer-reviewers-education-stabilization-fund-reimagine-workforce
