Official Government Website Workforce Readiness Incentive Awards The Program Quality Initiative (PQI) Incentive Awards, established by Idaho Code 33-1635 , provide additional funding for high-performing, approved secondary pathway programs in Business and Marketing, Engineering and Technology, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health Professions, and Trades and Industry.
Refer to the FAQ section in regards to Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources and Career Technical Centers (CTCs) being ineligible for PQI Incentive. Eligibility is contingent upon the percentage of students completing and passing the Technical Skills Assessment (TSA) and Workplace Readiness Assessment (WRA).
Funds must be used for specific purposes such as instructional materials, equipment, professional development, and services related to the eligible CTE program pathway, with recipient Local Education Agency (LEA)s required to submit expenditure reports. Please refer to the Allowable Uses of Added-Cost Funds document on the Educator Portal. Awards are authorized in the fall, and expenditure reports are due by March 15.
The PQI Technical Assistance Grants, established by Idaho Code 33-1635 , are designed to help eligible school LEAs and program pathways implement strategies to enhance standards and improve program quality. Eligibility is determined by prior year WRA pass rates for LEAs and TSA pass rates for program pathways.
LEA applications should target strategies to boost student achievement of Idaho Workplace Skills for Career Readiness Standards across all CTE programs. In contrast, pathway applications should focus on improving the achievement of specific pathway standards. Grant funds may be used for instructional materials, equipment, and professional development expenses.
However, funds cannot be used for salaries, CTSO expenses, construction, or other unapproved costs. Technical Assistance Grants are reimbursed to LEAs, with reimbursement requests due by March 15 and subject to approval by IDCTE.
The PQI Establishment Grants, established by Idaho Code 33-1635 , help school LEAs acquire equipment for newly approved programs in Business and Marketing, Engineering and Technology, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health Professions, and Trades and Industry. Programs that receive funding as part of career technical centers (CTCs) are ineligible.
Only eligible programs receive invitations to apply for grant funding, which must be used solely for acquiring IDCTE-approved industry-standard equipment. LEAs must submit grant reimbursement requests by March 15. Workforce Readiness Incentive Awards The Workforce Readiness Incentive (WRI), established by Idaho Code 33-1635 , is designed to acknowledge quality secondary CTE programs; programs funded as part of CTCs are ineligible.
WRI funds are allocated to LEAs based on the number of CTE concentrators meeting specific criteria, including passing the TSA and WRA and earning relevant sub-badges in SkillStack® by April 30 each year. Eligible programs must offer the TSA. Funds can be used to retain CTE teachers, acquire industry-standard equipment, and provide student workforce experiences.
LEAs must distribute funds to qualifying pathway programs and submit expenditure reports by June 30, with unspent funds returned to IDCTE. The Idaho Division of Career Technical Education (IDCTE) offers multiple grant opportunities to support, enhance, and reward CTE programs.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
NSF's Faculty Early Career Development Program — the CAREER award — has a July 22, 2026 deadline, a $400,000 floor, a five-year runway, and roughly 500 awards a year across every directorate. It is the most prestigious grant a pre-tenure scientist can win, and the one most often lost on the integration requirement rather than the research. Here is what the award actually funds, who is eligible, and how to build a proposal that treats research and education as one program instead of two.
Read articleThe NSF CAREER award puts a minimum of $400,000–$500,000 over five years behind a single untenured faculty member, and it is the credential that shapes a research career. Here is who is eligible, why the integration of research and education is the criterion that decides it, and how to approach the July 22, 2026 deadline.
