Apprenticeship grant FAQ
Who funds apprenticeship programs?
Apprenticeship programs are funded by the same workforce ecosystem as the rest of the field: the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration and other federal agencies, the state workforce agencies that administer and sub-grant federal WIOA funds, and private and community foundations. Some funders run dedicated lines; many fund this work through broader workforce and employment programs.
What can apprenticeship grants pay for?
Funding to build and expand apprenticeship programs — Registered Apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and earn-and-learn models — for employers, intermediaries, community colleges, and workforce organizations. Typical eligible costs include staff and instructor time, curriculum and equipment, participant supportive services, employer engagement, and program operations for workforce boards, training providers, community colleges, and workforce nonprofits.
How do I find apprenticeship grants I'm eligible for?
