For Career Launch endorsed programs at community and technical colleges 

Funding available in 2021-23 biennium (FY22 & FY23): $5.0 million

*Capital equipment funding applications will be accepted from programs with Career Launch endorsement applications that are pending review and approval. Equipment funding awards are contingent on final endorsement.
