Caterpillar Building the Future Workforce Challenge

Request Ticket // Limit: 1 per School or Department

O. Leal-Neto (Global Health Institute) 

Limiting Language
Each Lead Organization may only complete one submission, except as described below. An organization can serve as a partner on a team for multiple applications provided that each application proposes a separate, distinct solution. This means each solution can only be submitted once, and we leave it up to each team to designate their eligible Lead Organization.  

Regional or location-specific branches of larger organizations, as well as departments, schools, and nonprofits within or based in a college/university, can each register and submit separately as the Lead Organization on one application. Participants may list both the parent organization and the specific applicant/project in the Lead Organization field on the registration form, such as College/Department (Parent organization) or Parent Organization – Project Name.

In all circumstances described above, the proposed projects must be separate and distinct. There should be no overlap in team members. The intent of the policy is to ensure that any team is concentrating their best effort into a single application. We encourage teams to select a single project that best represents your organization's ability to deliver a solution that meets the scoring criteria.

Summary
As part of the Caterpillar Building the Future Workforce Initiative, Caterpillar has designated $25 million of its $100 million pledge to launch the Building the Future Workforce Challenge. This includes an initial $5 million allocation in year one to support future‑ready training for high‑demand manufacturing and technician roles.

The Building the Future Workforce Challenge welcomes bold ideas from all sectors and regions, awarding up to five teams $1 million each plus the opportunity to implement their transformative solutions in one or more Caterpillar communities and facilities in the United States, Brazil, India, or Mexico over a two‑year project period.

The Caterpillar Building the Future Workforce Challenge seeks bold, sustainable, tech‑forward training solutions that can close today’s—and tomorrow’s—advanced manufacturing and industry technician skill gaps. We’re looking for ideas that can flex with rapid technological change and strengthen the talent pipelines our communities and industry depend on. Eligible nonprofit and for‑profit organizations anywhere in the world are invited to propose solutions that can be implemented in the United States, Brazil, India, or Mexico. Winning solutions will have the opportunity to be implemented in Caterpillar facilities and Caterpillar communities—providing a testing ground for introduction, replication, and scale.

Take our readiness tool to help determine your fit for the challenge, and review our resources and scoring rubric to learn more about solution categories, problem statements, evaluation criteria, how we’ve defined a strong proposal, and more.

Countering Foreign Terrorist Organization Use of Illicit Mining

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language
Applicants are only allowed to submit one proposal per organization. If more than one proposal is submitted from an organization, all proposals from that institution will be considered ineligible for funding.

Executive Summary
Illicit gold mining has emerged as a significant global threat, eroding sovereignty and stability and providing a lucrative revenue stream for violent Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and other criminal networks. Driven by surging global gold prices, experts estimate illegal gold mining has become a larger source of criminal income than narcotics trafficking in several Western Hemisphere countries, generating billions of dollars annually in criminal proceeds that fund FTOs and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) across the region. In countries with high concentrations of FTO activity and illegal gold mining overlap - particularly Colombia and Mexico - designated groups including FARC dissidents, Clan del Golfo, Cartel de Sinaloa, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, and Primeiro Comando da Capital control mining operations and trafficking networks that fuel illegal resource extraction throughout South America. Violent FTOs like Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed groups have been linked to financing from these FTO illicit mining operations. These violent FTOs and their vast networks attack every layer of the mine-to-market supply chain - from obtaining concessions through corruption, controlling extraction sites, trafficking mercury used in gold extraction, extorting shipments, and laundering proceeds through illicit markets. 

Addressing illicit gold mining in the Western Hemisphere directly advances U.S. security and economic interests by disrupting a major illicit source of funding for terrorist organizations, reducing their capacity to operate and threaten stability. By curbing the flow of illegally sourced gold into global markets, these efforts also help protect the integrity of American supply chains for U.S. businesses that rely on responsibly sourced materials. In turn, these actions contribute to a safer international environment, a stable global economy, and a stronger foundation for American prosperity. 

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) is seeking proposals for an initiative that will address the exploitation of illicit mining by violent FTOs. Special focus should be on the relationship and involvement of FTOs and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) in the space. Competitive proposals should take an integrated approach to the threat and include civilian law enforcement, mining sector regulators, judges and prosecutors, and civil society where appropriate.
