Incentive Funding

The Strong Workforce Program (SWP) helps to strengthen career and technical education (CTE) programs through regional collaboration and by preparing more students for high-demand, high-wage jobs. SWP incentive funding provides rewards to colleges and regions that attain these goals.


Allocation of 2017-18 17% Incentive funds to Bay Region Districts


Link to 1/31/18 Guidance Memo from the Chancellor's Office on Positive Incentive Funding

Allocation of Regional Incentive Fund to Districts, RJV Fund, BACCC
The region (separate from the colleges) received $3,104,836 from the Incentive Fund based on our aggregate performance on CTE FTES, completions, and service to economically disadvantaged students. Per our December 1 agreement, 82.5% ($2,561,490) of this is allocated to districts as detailed below. 12.5% ($388,105) is allocated to the RJV Fund, and 5% ($155,241) to BACCC operations/fiscal agency. 

Base Allocation Formula
The Base allocation is calculated by the Chancellor's Office for each district using 1/3 CTE FTES, 1/3 unemployed adults, 1/6 job openings. We distributed the Base Regional Direct-to-College funds in the same proportions as the Local Base. If a district received 5% of the Local Base allocation, it will receive 5% of the total Base Regional Direct-to-College allocation. 

Incentive Fund Allocation Formula
The Incentive allocation is calculated by the Chancellor's Office using a formula that factors in CTE enrollments, completions, and economically disadvantaged students. We distributed the Regional Incentive Direct-to-College funds in the same proportions as the Local Incentive funds. If a District received 4% of the region's total Local Incentive funds, it will receive 4% of the Regional Incentive Direct-to-College funds.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns, or if we can help in any way with your planning and use of SWP funds.
