The CCSF Office of Workforce Development is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to support and strengthen Career Education at CCSF. The RFP linked below provides the background information and procedures for applying for funds for the 2025-26 fiscal year. It combines the application process for two funding streams: Perkins V and the Strong Workforce Program (SWP).

The timeline for the RFP process is as follows:

  • December 6, 2024: Request for Proposals released 
  • December 2024–February 2025: Workforce team is available by appointment to provide help sessions for applicants. Email Cece Jones at cjones@ccsf.edu to schedule an appointment. 
  • February 4, 2025: Technical Assistance Webinar (email cjones@ccsf.edu for invitation) 
  • February 14, 2025: Deadline to submit technology requests to ITS for review, per directions in RFP. 
  • March 7, 2025 by 11:59 PM PST: Proposals due via SurveyMonkey Apply 
  • April 2025: Allocation Subcommittee meets to make funding decisions 
  • May 2025: Tentative Awards Announced

RFPs will be processed using Survey Monkey Apply (SMApply) again this year.

All proposals requesting computers, software, or other technology must get approval from Information Technology Services (ITS) and may also require approval from the Office of Online Learning and Educational Technology (OLET). This will allow ITS and OLET to ensure that requests meet the relevant technology standards, are in alignment with overarching technology plans, and ensure that the College has sufficient capacity to service any new hardware or software purchased. The purpose of this review is not to assess the efficacy of your proposal, which means you can submit your itemized technology requests for approval while you are developing the rest of your application.
