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

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.”  

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.
