Youth Opportunities Committee Request for Proposal (June 18, 2009) The Youth Opportunities Committee has been awarded 4 million dollars for the 2009-2010 program year to initiate pilot projects and targeted initiatives to serve youth who are between the ages of 14 – 21, low income and who have a barrier. As provided for in the Workforce Investment Act, barriers for youth are: deficient in basic literacy skills, a school drop-out, homeless, a runaway or a foster child, a pregnant or parenting teen, an offender, or an individual who requires additional assistance to complete an educational program, or secure and hold employment. Given this opportunity, the Youth Opportunities Committee is seeking proposals from Regional Workforce Boards (RWB) and other entities that target Florida’s neediest youth and maximize leveraged resources. Proposals will be funded for a one-year contract and although a dollar cap has not been established, most projects should limit their funding requests to $500,000. Proposals showing leveraged funds and sustainability or replicability will have a greater chance of being funded. For non RWB entities, partnerships with local RWBs are highly encouraged. Although the Committee is requesting all types of proposals serving the above mentioned youth population, several targeted areas or activities have been identified by the Youth Opportunities Committee and are as follows:
If interested, please complete the proposal submission form and budget sheet and submit both documents to Rachael Trawick at rtrawick@workforceflorida.com and copy Dehryl McCall at dmccall@workforceflorida.com by COB on July 24, 2009.

FCAT Intervention Services (September 15, 2004) WFI is awarding this RFP to Jobs for Florida's Graduates In its Appropriations Bill, the 2004 Legislature earmarked $400,000 in federal funds allocated to Workforce Florida, Inc. to seek competitive proposals for intervention services for Florida students who have failed the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and therefore run the risk of either dropping out of school or facing significant obstacles to full-time employment.

Replication of the CHOICE Career Institute (August 2, 2004--updated August 12, 2004) Below is a ‘Notice of Intent to Offer’ for the Community High Okaloosa Institutes for Career Education (CHOICE) replication project. This is NOT a formal RFP but simply a request for regions that may interested in funding for this project to obtain letters of interest from required local partners and advise WFI that the region intends to submit a proposal when the RFP is issued. RWBs that do not submit a ‘Notice of Intent to Offer’’, however, WILL NOT be eligible to offer a proposal when the RFP is issued. This project is an initiative of the First Jobs/First Wages Council and is a product of the ‘Strengthening Youth Partnerships’ meetings that brought together numerous state agencies and other stakeholders which provide services to youth. The F/F Council has identified up to $1.4 million to fund this project and another project targeting juvenile offenders. Those funds may be used entirely for either or, preferably, both projects. Funding will be a combination of WIA and TANF. We are only allowing a short period of time for submittal of this ‘Notice of Intent to Offer’ because it only requires that RWBs obtain letters from local youth partners to be responsive.
Deadline for submission: Revised Due Date of August 25, 2004; 5pm EDT NOTE: This ‘Notice of Intent to Offer’ does not oblige the regional board to submit a proposal when the RFP is issued nor does it commit the RWB nor any of its local youth partners to matching funds at this time. The project does require matching funds, however, and those funds will need to be identified and committed when responding to the RFP. It is our plan to issue the RFP as soon as possible after receipt and evaluation of these notices of intent.
Skills Upgrade Training for Rural Communities (July 16, 2004--updated August 12, 2004) Purpose: To fund skills upgrade training for existing workers employed in a business located within a ‘rural community’. WFI will not accept grant applications that propose training for businesses that are NOT located in a ‘rural community.’ The business(es) must also fall within a targeted industry as designated by Enterprise Florida, Inc. (see list of EFI targeted industries in the documents below). Employers must be private sector, for-profit businesses. This initiative is similar to the ‘Employed Worker Training’ initiative for 2003-04 except the High Skills/High Wages Council wishes to limit this training to rural communities only.
Deadline for submission: Revised Due Date of August 25, 2004; 5pm EDT
Skills Upgrade Training for Manufacturing or Other Targeted Industries (July 15, 2004--updated August 12, 2004) Purpose: To fund skills upgrade training for existing workers employed in one or more of the targeted industries as defined by Enterprise Florida, Inc. The training should provide upgraded skills necessary for trainees to improve or enhance their performance and therefore benefit both the employee and employer (business). Special emphasis should be placed on training in the manufacturing industry. Employers must be private sector, for-profit businesses. This initiative is similar to the ‘Employed Worker Training’ initiative for 2003-04 except the High Skills/High Wages Council wishes to emphasize manufacturing jobs and rural areas for this training.
Deadline for submission: Revised Due Date of August 23, 2004; 5pm EDT Please note that these projects are 'grant solicitations' and ONLY regional workforce boards may apply. These projects, however, do involve training services and interested parties, including training providers, are encouraged to contact their local regional workforce board about the possibility of providing training services for this project.
