United Way of Greater Atlanta is building youth apprenticeships – Organizations are Invited to Apply for 2023 CareerReady ATL Request for Proposal!
CareerReady ATL is an initiative to build a Youth Apprenticeship System that will scale and sustain youth apprenticeship opportunities for Black, Hispanic, and other youth of color furthest from opportunity in the Greater Atlanta region. CareerReady ATL was launched by the United Way of Greater Atlanta (UWGA) in alignment to their College and Career Ready investment priority which aims to improve the college and career readiness for 15,000 youth.
This grant is focused on two types of CareerReady ATL investments in youth apprenticeship: 1) Program Development Grants and 2) Program Implementation Grants through our career pathway strategy. This strategy focuses on cultivating developmentally appropriate opportunities for young people to build soft and hard skills including youth apprenticeships that will make them competitive in the current and future workforce. Nonprofit organizations that are looking to build or implement pre-apprenticeship or apprenticeship pathways for young people may learn more by visiting https://unitedwayatlanta.org/funding-opportunity/careerready-atl-grant-opportunity/ .
