Nearly $3 million available for Registered Apprenticeships and Recognized Pre-apprenticeships in Washington State.
Today Washington State’s Employment Security Department, on behalf of Career Connect Washington, will open round 3 of Apprenticeship Building America (ABA) program builder funding. ABA is funded by the US Department of Labor and seeks to, “strengthen, modernize, expand, and diversify Registered Apprenticeship programs to enable more workers to earn while they learn and find reliable pathways to the middle class.”
Like rounds 1 and 2, equity and access for under-represented populations and bringing Registered Apprenticeship to more Washington employers will be at the center of winning grant proposals. Employment Security expects to fund awards between $100,000 and $150,000. The period of performance is estimated at 18 months, from September 2024 through March 2026.
