This activity category also encompasses grant-funded projects or projects directed by proviso that are classified as continuous improvement projects. These projects include, but are not limited to: Make It In Washington; NGA Policy Academy on Work-Based Learning,; sector-specific skills gap research and analysis, including aerospace and healthcare.
