Workforce Training Funding Opportunity

Do you have an existing apprenticeship program that is not yet recognized by the state? Our team can help guide you through the process to become vetted and state-recognized. Once approved, your program may become eligible for funding support.

This is an opportunity to get funded for the training you are already providing.

Once your apprenticeship program is state-recognized, a pre-apprenticeship program can also work alongside it to strengthen your talent pipeline.

This program helps employers:

  • Combine paid work with classroom instruction
  • Build long-term workforce talent
  • Customized to your industry needs
