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.
