Yes. Applicants must now describe how program participants will pay their tuition; some possible sources include tuition charged to students, funding made available through the workforce investment system, and business paid training.

Applicants must also include in the one- to three-page listing of all projected outcomes list:

• The number of individuals who will participate in training activities during the life of the grant. Participation in training activities includes individuals whose training activity is supported in whole or in part by direct training costs under the grant. This projection also includes individuals participating in the training activity who benefit from the products, services, and activities funded by the grant for capacity building, but whose training activity is not funded by the grant.
• The number of individuals who will complete training activities during the life of the grant regardless of the source of the funds paying for the training activities.
• The number of individuals to participate in training activities during the life of the grant whose participation is supported by the grant either through direct training costs or through tuition remission, scholarship, or other direct payment by the grant.

Finally, applicants must describe their plans for ensuring long-term demand for the increased training capacity developed under the grant. This description should include outreach and recruitment strategies for new students and trainees, and include the roles of industry, the workforce system, and education partners.
