8. Sustainability Makes Sense
Grant Funding Regardless of Source
Expected to jumpstart programs or provide specific support
Never expected to provide operational support on an ongoing basis
Therefore recipients are expected to figure out how to sustain at least a portion of the work
How and what can be sustained varies

9. What is Sustainability?
DOL: Looks for evidence of a grantee’s planning to “integrate these strategies and activities into their non-grant funded program(s) for continued success.”

10. Examples Credit for Prior Learning Work-Based Learning
WI, CO and LA created statewide, transparent credit-for-prior-learning processes to accelerate student success
Work-Based Learning
Colleges in Michigan are maintaining work-based learning models and operating them as Registered Apprenticeship programs
Relationships with employers
Colleges across the country plan to maintain and expand the strong working partnerships they have with employers.
