Required next actionMARC DECISION REQUIRED for any Dr. Miltie direct-application pursuit. NDOL states there are no restrictions on who can apply and explicitly identifies healthcare as an example of a qualifying specific-industry workforce focus. A direct pursuit is structurally possible only if Dr. Miltie can present a truthful Nebraska workforce-development project with measurable goals, estimated costs, success metrics, and sustainability. Do not auto-submit in Marc's name. Do not frame the request as device purchasing alone; any N9+ component must be legitimately tied to workforce training or development.

Broad Eligibility

NDOL states there are no restrictions on who can apply. Applicants may include employer groups, organizations, educational institutions, nonprofits, and associations representing multiple employers. Proposals are reviewed for alignment with Nebraska workforce priorities, the Good Life, Great Careers initiative, implementation feasibility, and representation across Nebraska workforce development areas.

Atlas Analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score 93/100. N9+ Fit Score 82/100 conditional. Fresh September 25, 2026 verification confirms the calendar-year 2027 application is open through February 1, 2027. NDOL states there are no restrictions on who can apply and explicitly gives healthcare as an example of a qualifying specific-industry workforce focus. There is no restriction on the amount requested, although the Commissioner may award a different amount. The public application requires a project description, estimated cost and funding uses, goals/metrics/success measures, sustainability, contact information, and organization description. No mandatory match or cost-share requirement is stated in the current public page or FAQ. Dr. Miltie, LLC therefore appears structurally eligible for a direct application if it can present a truthful Nebraska workforce-development project; any N9+ component must be tied to legitimate workforce training competencies rather than a device-purchase-only proposal. Marc approval is required before any direct application is advanced or submitted.
