Full Description

DoWEA requires an established high school, semester-long Career and Technical Education (CTE) work ethics-focused curriculum—provisionally named Work Ethics First—with a proven track record of successful implementation, to be delivered by educators.  An established, ready-to-use curriculum and resources empower students to make career choices based on the following:  


  • Balancing the Career Narrative: Curriculum highlights the dignity, demand, and good-paying, lifelong employment in the skilled trades as an alternative to a career requiring a university degree.  


  • Focusing on Character over Compliance: Instilling a proactive work ethic as a primary life skill, framing gratitude for the freedoms that those living in America enjoy and personal accountability as core components of career success regardless of the chosen career path—not job-specific work ethics that focus on punctuality, attention to detail, etc. 


If the proposed solution includes digital components, the offeror shall provide five (5) student access codes and five (5) instructor/teacher access codes to support the Government’s technical evaluation of the proposed solution. 


**Questions or concerns regarding this requirement may be submitted to the POC via e-mail no later than Thursday, July 2, 2026, at 12:00PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) with the subject line, "Questions to Solicitation Number HE125426QE070".
