About this program

The CWDB seeks to fund two or more partnerships that will develop a scalable, replicable career pathway program focused on the Quantum or Fusion sectors. Funded projects will integrate multiple on- and off-ramps for participants from the K-12 system through the community college and four-year university systems. The intent of Accelerator 14 is to support the development of programs that offer:  -Establish industry-recognized credentials that will prepare jobseekers for quality jobs in the Quantum or Fusion sectors; particularly short-term credentials that can be attained in approximately eight to thirteen weeks.-Train and place participants into jobs in Quantum, Fusion, and/or adjacent occupations within the Quantum or Fusion supply chains that do not require a four-year degree.-Provide career education, exploration, and introductory technical education at the High School and Community College levels.-Offer guidance and support to students seeking to enter a four-year degree program focused on Quantum, Fusion, or a related field.-Conduct outreach, recruitment, and supportive services for jobseekers facing barriers to employment.  The CWDB will consider applications for both participant serving (Innovation Impact), and non-participant serving projects (Planning and Development).
