The New Jersey Department of Education seeks a single vendor to design, deliver, and manage a multi‑year professional‑development and research program that expands access for non‑traditional and special‑population students in Career and Technical Education (CTE). The contractor will create and update curricula, conduct three targeted case‑study research projects, and provide at least eight professional‑development workshops (both in‑person across the state’s three regions and virtual) for up to 250 CTE stakeholders. All deliverables, including interim and final reports, must meet New Jersey accessibility standards and be submitted according to a detailed schedule spanning FY 26‑28.
• Design and deliver ≥ 3 full‑day in‑person workshops (North, Central, South) plus ≥ 5 virtual workshops each year.
• Develop, refresh annually, and provide all curriculum, toolkits, and digital resources for CTE educators and administrators.
• Conduct research at a secondary district, a county vocational school, and a Perkins‑funded county college, delivering a draft report (Oct 2027) and a final report (Dec 2028).
• Provide quarterly/bi‑monthly progress reports, maintain a data‑sharing agreement, and ensure all deliverables become NJDOE property.
