The Employment Development Department (EDD), in coordination with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA), announces the availability of up to $1.5 million in Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Governor’s Discretionary funds for the Emergency Medical Services Technical Assistance (EMS TA) Program Year 2026-27 (PY 26-27) Solicitation for Proposals (SFP).
The EMS TA PY 26-27 grant supports the continued implementation, improvement, and long-term sustainability of established EMS Corps programs across California.
The PY 26–27 grant is designed to strengthen existing programs by ensuring fidelity to the EMS Corps model, improving participant outcomes, and supporting consistent statewide quality.
EMS Corps sites vary in their operational maturity, adherence to the EMS Corps model, and ability to deliver strong employment pathways for participants.
Some programs demonstrate high alignment with the model and are positioned for continued investment, while others require deeper technical assistance due to inconsistent implementation, structural challenges, or limited job placement outcomes.
Under this grant, the awarded TA provider will assess each EMS Corps site’s program fidelity, operational capacity, participant outcomes, and alignment with the local job market.
This assessment will inform recommendations regarding which sites should receive additional funding
