Dear Colleagues,

Please see the attached RFP and budget template.

From the attached RFP:

 The second year (2019-2020) of the CUNY Career Success Course Innovation grants will support the redesign and/or creation of credit courses, or the creation of professional development opportunities, with a focus on integrating new career readiness content and related skills development. Grants will be awarded for up to $5,000 to individual faculty or academic departments to support course redesign or development, or to directors of CUNY Centers for Teaching and Learning to support professional development for faculty members. Total amount will depend upon how funds will be used (course buy-out or otherwise). New materials and activities should prioritize at least one of the following:

• • Employer or industry validated in-demand skills,

• • NACE career readiness competencies,

• • Applied or experiential learning activities,

• • Promising practices in the integration of career awareness, exploration, and readiness in academic coursework and co-curricular experiences

Humanities and Liberal Arts faculty and academic departments are encouraged to apply.

Subject: Career Success Course Innovation and Faculty Professional Development RFP Opportunity

Dear All,

We are pleased to release our second round of funding for course innovation grants and faculty professional development. This round of funding is targeted to any discipline with the intention of offering resources to faculty to revise or develop courses that will help students gain applied learning and/or competencies that will connect classroom learning with career exploration. In addition to the course innovation grant, based on feedback from faculty and the Centers for Teaching and Learning directors, we included an opportunity to create a faculty professional development training for career success work.

We would appreciate if you could please share this opportunity with your faculty networks.

In year one, we funded 16 projects with an estimated 900 students who are expected to take the courses by next semester. We will be supporting a learning community with this second round to help share and elevate campus practices that are promising for course development and revision. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to be in touch.

Best,

Angie
