Programs should utilize career-prep and readiness scopes (awareness, exploration, preparation and training) to increase awareness and access to jobs and careers in Port-related industries. All scopes and activities must be specific to the selected Port-related industry. Programs that include only basic skills such as resume-building or general computer literacy will not be eligible. Programs that teach general skills should also include specific training related to the Port’s operations, such as aviation-specific or maritime-specific skills. For example, general barista training or cashier training without any airport-specific training associated with the program may not be eligible for funding. However, a program that supports barista or cashier opportunities at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) that also includes airport-specific training on badging, security, or other airport specific requirements, may be eligible.
