Soft Skills Curriculum
"Skills to Pay the Bills: Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace Success,"
is a curriculum developed by ODEP focused on teaching "soft" or workforce readiness skills to youth, including youth with disabilities. Created for youth development professionals as an introduction to workplace interpersonal and professional skills, the curriculum is targeted for students ages 14 to 21 for both in-school and out-of-school environments. The program is comprised of modular, hands-on, engaging activities that focus on six key skill areas: communication, enthusiasm and attitude, teamwork, networking, problem solving and critical thinking, and professionalism.

How long do we have to spend our CTEIG funds?
CTEIG funds (Rounds 1, 2, and 3) must be expended (grant and match) by

unds must actually be spent, not just encumbered.

Can the grant pay for out-of-state travel for students to attend CTSO events?
Yes, however, send Bryan Baker an email requesting out of state travel. Include the details and the reason there was no local state equivalent you could attend. Keep a copy of the email on file for your records.

We haven’t heard yet as to when the Perkins Data System will be open for E2 data. CDE will send out an announcement via the Perkins mailer.

Here are some links to help locate academic standards for all industry sectors.
Go to CTEIG website,
