Economic Development Grants. Currently, all of the colleges have economic development grant activity. A review of the colleges’ existing economic development grant programs reveals that the colleges have used these funds primarily for new for-credit program development. RTI will pursue economic development grant activity. In contrast to the colleges, RTI will target its efforts exclusively on providing not-for-credit pre- and post-employment training, as well as small business development programs and services to Contra Costa County employers. RTI will collaborate with the colleges to bring a “value-added” approach to college-generated economic development grant activity.
