The New York State Pathways in Technology Early College High School (NYS P-TECH) Program will prepare thousands of New York students for high-skills jobs of the future in technology, manufacturing, healthcare and finance.  The model incorporates a six-year program that combines high school, college, and career training and will be targeted to academically and economically at-risk students.
July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2026. NYSED recognizes that some projects may seek to begin working with 9th grade students in September 2019. Such projects will need written approval from NYSED prior to commencing that work plan to ensure they meet the pre-launch criteria set forth by the New York State Education Department. The expectation is that all other projects will require the planning period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Regardless of the amount of planning time needed, all programs must meet the pre-launch criteria set forth by NYSED.
The project seeks to fund regional partnerships that respond to the greatest need for enhanced access to post-secondary opportunity for students and the potential to build a local talent pipeline for industries with a favorable job outlook.  Each partnership will include K-12, higher education, and business/employer partners.
Eligible Fiscal Agents/ Applicants
A New York State public school district or a BOCES must serve as the fiscal agent/applicant for each application.
It is anticipated that a total of 24 million dollars will be available over the seven-year grant term, contingent on availability of funds.
Subcontracting will be limited to twenty percent (20%) of the total annual budget and shall include an outside evaluator to ensure the approved program meets the minimum performance criteria as outlined in the Responsibilities of Partner section of this RFP. The cost of the outside evaluator may not exceed $2000. Subcontracting is defined as non-employee direct personal services and related incidental expenses, including travel; it does not include service contracts between members of the partnership. This limit applies to subcontracting carried out by the lead applicant and members of the partnership. It is the responsibility of the lead applicant/fiscal agent to ensure that the aggregate total subcontracting carried out by the lead applicant/fiscal agent and the partners does not exceed the 20% subcontracting limit.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that has been signed by the leaders of each partner organization. Applications that do not include a MOU signed by all partners will not be reviewed for consideration.   Letters of support will not be accepted in lieu of a partner’s signature on the MOU.
