Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS SINGAPORE FY19 001
The YSEALI Regional Workshop on Future Workforce (Funding Opportunity Number PAS SINGAPORE FY19 001) is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Singapore grant opportunity administered by the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore. It invites organizations to compete for a cooperative agreement to design, plan, and run a three-day, in-person regional workshop in Singapore (the three program days do not include travel days). The workshop was tentatively scheduled for August 2020 and, as noted in the notice, was contingent on the availability of funds.
The program is built around the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI), the U.S. government’s flagship effort to deepen relationships with emerging leaders across Southeast Asia. The workshop is intended to convene roughly 40 to 60 participants ages 18 to 35 drawn from all ten ASEAN member states (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) plus Timor-Leste. A central expectation is that participants engage across borders to address shared regional challenges, aligning with YSEALI’s four pillars: economic growth, sustainable development, education, and civic engagement. In parallel, the workshop is meant to reinforce the broader U.S.-ASEAN partnership.
The theme, “Future Workforce,” focuses on how Southeast Asia can strengthen economic development by preparing workers, entrepreneurs, and organizations for rapidly evolving job demands driven by technology and innovation. A stated goal is to highlight the role and value of U.S. companies in advancing innovation and technological solutions in the region. Over the three workshop days, participants are expected to build practical knowledge and resilience to keep their enterprises and initiatives viable as labor markets change. Key competency areas include leadership strategies for navigating the digital future, stronger critical thinking and adaptability for fast-changing environments, and concrete approaches to upskilling and reskilling workforces.
On the funding and administrative side, this is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically means the U.S. government anticipates substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 19.040, with an award ceiling of $175,000 and an expectation of one award. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions in the non-501(c)(3) category). The opportunity was created on April 22, 2019, with an original closing date of June 7, 2019.Apply for PAS SINGAPORE FY19 001
