PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPERS

MAX RFP BOARD: New Grant Opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor on Closing the Skills Gap

July 7, 2019

In June 2017, the President issued Executive Order 13801 on Expanding Apprenticeship in America, which lays out an expansive vision for apprenticeship that would increase the number of apprentices in the nation to an unprecedented level across all industries. 

The overarching goals of the Apprenticeships: Closing the Skills Gap grant program are threefold: (1) to accelerate the expansion of apprenticeships to new industry sectors and occupations, such as cybersecurity and those involving artificial intelligence; (2) to promote the large-scale expansion of apprenticeships across the nation to a range of employers, including small- and medium-sized employers; and (3) to increase apprenticeship opportunities for all Americans.

The deadline for applications is Tuesday, September 24th. Click here to learn more about this funding opportunity.
