	Frequently Asked QuestionsAmeriCorps Seniors is publishing this funding notice with the purpose of creating the AmeriCorps Seniors Workforce Development Senior Demonstration Program (herein referred to as WFD) to support projects focused on supporting older adults as they seek to secure employment in professional, skilled labor, or para-professional careers. In addition, AmeriCorps Seniors is partnering with Public Health AmeriCorps, which seeks to support projects that address the public health needs of local communities, advance health equity and create pathways to public health careers for older adults. Applicants that propose public health careers programming would apply via the Public Health Careers Track. All other career programming will apply via the non-public health careers track. Through WFD funding opportunities, applicants must demonstrate how they will engage adults ages 55 and older, using service opportunities, certification, training, and mentoring as the avenue that will lead to employment in skilled, professional, and/or para-professional career employment.

AmeriCorps’ priorities for this funding opportunity are:

Support older adults in obtaining permanent employment in skilled labor, professional or paraprofessional careers (for the purpose of this NOFO, professional is defined as “engaged in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation rather than as a pastime and requires a particular skillset in order to be successful.” Paraprofessional is defined as “specially trained or credentialed employment, in fields such as education, healthcare, engineering, law.”).
	Provide training and/or certification for employment, and supports such as mentorship, coaching, transportation, and other forms of support.
	Provide mentoring and/or coaching in regular increments, including during pre- and post- employment placement.
	Provide a competitive stipend to remove barriers for older adults’ service. If the program model does not include a stipend for beneficiaries, a full explanation must be provided, including how the program recruits, retains, supports volunteers, and a pattern of success.Public Health Careers Track: Applicants interested in addressing immediate public health needs, reducing health disparities in their communities and building the public health workforce may propose a program that aligns with Public Health AmeriCorps. See Appendix III for more information about Public Health AmeriCorps, and ensure applications address the Public Health Careers Track elements under Selection Criteria in addition to the other criteria as written.

Applicants that are proposing public health workforce development projects should select the eGrants Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) labeled “FY 2023 AmeriCorps Seniors Public Health Workforce Development.” Applicants that are proposing other types of workforce development projects should select the eGrants Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) labeled “FY 2023 AmeriCorps Seniors Workforce Development.” See the Application Instructions document for more information.
