“The purpose of this program is to support the development of new or the expansion of existing Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAP) for youth. This also includes quality pre-apprenticeship programs that lead to a RAP.
The grant will:
- Increase awareness and adoption of the earn-and-learn apprenticeship model as a solution for experiential learning at the secondary educational level;
- Increase parental, young adult, and employer awareness around the benefits of youth participation in RAPs, as well as their engagement in these models;
- Develop and expand the number of RAP opportunities for youth, ensuring they meet RAP standards and pre-apprenticeship programs are of high quality and lead to RAP;
- Increase academic and career-focused learning among youth, based on sound assessments, to increase employability in the labor force;
- Promote increased alignment between state education and workforce systems through the development of policies that facilitate the transition from school to a RAP; and
