The purpose of this NOFO is to solicit applications for the Highway Construction Training Program (HCTP) to award highway construction workforce development grants. The NOFO will result in the distribution of up to $4,226,871. The purposes of the HCTP as described in 23 U.S.C. 504(f) are to: 1) Develop, test, and review new curricula and education programs to train individuals at all levels of the transportation workforce; and 2) To implement the new curricula and education programs to provide for hands-on career opportunities to meet current and future needs. As further described in 23 U.S.C. 504(f)(2), in making grants, FHWA may consider the extent to which the project will: A) Develop new curricula or education program to meet the specific current or future needs of a segment of the transportation industry, States, or regions. B) Provide for practical experience and on-the-job training. C) Be oriented toward practitioners in the field rather than the support and growth of the research community. D) Provide for new curricula or programs that will provide training in areas other than engineering, such grants as business administration, economics, information technology, environmental science, and law. E) Provide programs or curricula that train professionals for work in the transportation field, such as construction materials, information technology, environmental science, urban planning, and industrial or emerging technology. F) Demonstrate the commitment of industry or a State DOT to the program.
