- Is the proposed program part of an attainable career plan for promotion or career change of the participants?
- What supplemental funding sources or resources will the department contribute for training the participants?
- Have funds been awarded in previous years to the department? If so, the required program evaluation from the funded year will be considered.
Following is an example of a previously funded training program:
Funding was awarded for a laboratory technical training center to help employees become more competitive in laboratory technical level positions upon completion of the program. The funds enabled 8 to 12 individuals to attend this training program without cost to them or their departments.
