Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 18 AW 009 02132018
The "English for Workforce Development in Pakistan" opportunity is a U.S. Department of State grant competition run through the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs to support a nationwide "English Works" program in Pakistan. The program is designed to reach at least 600 at-risk Pakistani youth between the ages of 17 and 25, with the practical goal of helping them improve their English ability alongside job-relevant skills. Rather than focusing on academic English alone, the initiative emphasizes workplace readiness by pairing language learning with critical thinking, employability preparation, and broader soft skills that can help participants function more effectively in their communities and improve their prospects for employment or further training.
A key feature of the opportunity is that instruction is expected to follow an existing English Works curriculum and be delivered under the guidance of RELO Pakistan (the Regional English Language Office). In other words, this is not a blank-slate curriculum development project; it is an implementation-focused effort where the selected partner is expected to roll out and manage programming that aligns with established materials and standards. To support consistent delivery and teaching quality, implementers and teachers may take part in training sessions, either in person or online, aimed at familiarizing them with sample classroom activities and recommended teaching methodology.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the award is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means the funding agency anticipates a more active role in the project compared with a standard grant. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $600,000 and anticipated making one award. The posting was created on February 13, 2018, with an original application closing date of April 17, 2018. The assistance listing falls under CFDA 19.501, and eligibility was noted broadly as "Others," indicating that nontraditional or specifically defined organizations (as clarified in the full announcement) could apply rather than limiting eligibility to a narrow set of applicant types.
Overall, the opportunity funds an organization to implement a country-wide workforce-oriented English language program for vulnerable youth, using RELO Pakistan guidance and an established curriculum, with optional training to ensure instructors use effective methods and classroom practices. The measurable emphasis implied by the description is on tangible skill gains English proficiency combined with critical thinking and employability-related soft skills and on reaching a minimum participant scale of 600 young people across Pakistan.Apply for SCAISB 18 AW 009 02132018
