Grant Program to Expand Registered Apprenticeships in High-Demand Industries

This Act establishes a new competitive grant program to significantly boost the number of paid, registered apprenticeships across the country, focusing on high-growth sectors like healthcare and technology. The goal is to provide citizens with more pathways to high-wage careers, often without student debt, by funding organizations that help employers develop and implement these training programs. This initiative aims to increase career earnings potential for participants by an estimated $300,000 over their lifetime.
Key points
Increased Career Opportunities: The law funds the creation of new apprenticeship programs, particularly in sectors currently lacking them, offering structured training leading to an average annual salary of $77,000 upon completion.
Support for Apprentices: Grant recipients will provide essential support services, including mentorship, job counseling, and placement assistance, ensuring apprentices successfully complete their programs and transition into full-time jobs.
Funding Mechanism: $25 million is authorized annually (FY 2024-2028) for grants up to $6 million to organizations (workforce intermediaries) that facilitate the establishment and management of these apprenticeship programs.
