We're awarding more than $244 million through two grant programs to help modernize, diversify and expand the Registered Apprenticeship system in growing U.S. industries. The investments are part of the Biden-Harris administration’s Investing in America agenda, which is rebuilding the middle class and increasing opportunities for underrepresented populations to enter in-demand occupations and careers that offer family-supporting wages. Nearly $195 million will come through the second round of grant funding under the Apprenticeship Building America initiative, which supports public-private partnerships designed to serve a range of industries and individuals. The program will help expand the use of Registered Apprenticeships across in-demand fields, such as K-12 education, clean energy, IT and cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, supply chain, hospitality, care economy and public-sector occupations. The Biden-Harris administration is also awarding $49 million through the second round of the competitive portion of the State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula grants to nine states. Since the start of the Biden-Harris administration, these investments and other efforts have resulted in more than 900,000 individuals having the opportunity to start an apprenticeship. https://lnkd.in/gyRHwBJY
