Can some of the allowable costs (staff costs) include a for-profit agency doing contracted work?
A. Yes, but the grantee is held responsible for outcomes/deliverables and any other legal issues. Q. What does “potentially VR eligible” mean? Does that make it unacceptable to work with younger kids or does that mean that we can serve them as long as they can potentially be a referral in the future? A. This depends on your definition of “younger”. We do want to see work experience programs started and maintained in schools. However, we also want to make sure that formal referrals are made to VR in the junior year of high school. It appears from what you indicated in your question that your proposal would be appropriate as long as the students are not too young to work.
