Opportunity Information: Apply for HIN HCWP 2020
The Highway Construction Workforce Partnership (HCWP) Grant is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), designed to help State Departments of Transportation strengthen and expand the workforce pipeline for highway construction. The program is built around the idea that recruiting, preparing, and placing people into highway construction careers works best when highway industry partners and the public workforce system coordinate their efforts rather than operating in separate lanes. In practice, the opportunity emphasizes collaboration among state DOTs, highway construction stakeholders, and State and local Workforce Development Boards, recognizing that outreach, training, and job placement require ongoing commitment and active participation from all partners to be effective.
At its core, the grant supports state DOTs in setting up a structured partnership model and then using that structure to create a sustainable workforce program aligned with real hiring needs in the highway construction industry. The funding is intended to help states do three main things. First, it supports the creation of an HCWP Working Group made up of representatives from highway industry organizations and workforce system organizations. This working group is meant to be the coordinating body that keeps partners aligned on goals, roles, communication, and practical implementation. Second, the grant supports the development and rollout of an HCWP Program that directly connects workforce demand (the kinds of workers and skills highway projects need) with the actions required to find candidates, provide them with relevant training, and move them into jobs and careers in highway construction. Third, the program aims to institutionalize the practices that prove successful, meaning states are encouraged to build systems and partnerships that last beyond a single grant cycle and can become part of the standard way they do business.
The HCWP Grant is specifically described as an extension of FHWA's On-the-Job Training Supportive Services (OJT/SS) Program. That matters because OJT/SS has a defined workforce equity focus: improving the effectiveness of on-the-job training programs tied to Federal-aid highway construction projects, with an emphasis on increasing training and job opportunities for groups that have been historically underrepresented in the highway construction workforce, particularly minorities and women. Consistent with that foundation, the HCWP grants prioritize efforts that expand outreach, skills training, and job placement outcomes for highway construction workers, with particular attention to improving access and outcomes for minorities and women.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a grant (not a loan or cooperative agreement), categorized under transportation, and listed under CFDA number 20.205. Eligibility is limited to state governments, which in this context primarily means State DOTs as the implementing entities. The funding opportunity number is HIN HCWP 2020. The notice lists an award ceiling of up to $4,000,000 per award, indicating the program is intended to support substantial statewide or multi-partner initiatives rather than small pilot projects. The opportunity was created on January 5, 2021, with an original application closing date of March 9, 2021.
Overall, the HCWP Grant is best understood as workforce system-building funding for the highway construction sector: it is meant to organize the right partners, align training and recruitment activities with actual project and employer needs, and produce measurable pathways into highway construction careers, especially for minorities and women, while also helping states lock in effective practices so the workforce pipeline remains strong over time.Apply for HIN HCWP 2020
