About the Program
The CCSF Office of Workforce Development is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to support and strengthen Career Education at CCSF. This RFP provides background information and procedures for applying for funds for the 2026-27 fiscal year. This RFP combines the application process for two funding streams: Perkins V and the Strong Workforce Program (SWP).
This RFP is aligned with the larger movement at CCSF toward integrated planning and budgeting. In an effort to streamline processes, the application includes questions based on Perkins V and SWP funding requirements to generate information applicable to each of the funding streams. Departments and collaborations that are interested in applying for funds will submit one application for funding. All applications will be reviewed by the CTE Allocations Committee, which will make funding recommendations to support quality proposals.
The information provided on the pages that follow includes:
Background Information on Perkins V and SWP funding
Eligibility Requirements, as well as the required uses of Perkins V and SWP funding
Accountability Measures
Procedures for Applying for Funds
Instructions for Completing New Online Application Form

Prospective applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the RFP and the online application form as soon as possible. Proposals are due by 11:59 PM on March 13, 2026. Proposals received after the deadline will not be considered in the review process or be eligible for funding.
