Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) hereby request applications for the award of new grant agreements under the FAA Aviation Maintenance Technical Workers Workforce Development Grant Program.

The USDOT was directed to establish the Program through fiscal year 2023 in Section 625 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, (Pub. .L. No. 115-254).

On October 5, 2018, the President signed the Act. Section 625 of the Act establishes an Aviation Workforce Development Grant Program. Through the award of these grants, the USDOT and the FAA will support the education and recruitment of aviation maintenance technical workers and the development of the aviation maintenance workforce. The Program aims to provide meaningful educational experiences to stimulate interest and encourage students throughout the Nation to prepare to enter this career field. The Program also supports activities to facilitate the transition to careers in aviation maintenance, including members of the Armed Forces. Congress authorized the Program through the end of Fiscal Year 2023. A Federal Register Notice was published to open a period of public comment that closed on September 23, 2020.

Per the Act, the goal of the Program is to provide grants for eligible projects to support the education and recruitment of aviation maintenance technical workers and the development of the aviation maintenance workforce.
