Massachusetts
Awarded More Than $1 Million For Registered Apprenticeship US
Department of Labor Award is part of Biden-Harris Administration’s Effort to
Diversify, Expand Registered Apprenticeship Programs in States BOSTON, MA – Today, at the Massachusetts Apprenticeship Council meeting, the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development announced that the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) awarded $1,052,584 for Massachusetts to support Registered Apprenticeship as a training and employment strategy for emerging industries. This awarded USDOL grant builds on the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s commitment to expand Registered Apprenticeship, a proven workforce strategy that combines technical and on-the-job training for workers, delivers industry-recognized credentials, and increases access to progressive wage increases and good-paying jobs. “Our administration is committed to expanding Registered Apprenticeship for more industries, supporting business growth, a stronger workforce, and economic competitiveness in regions across Massachusetts,” said Governor Maura Healey. “We’re grateful to the Biden-Harris Administration and USDOL for providing these critical funds to build the workforce we need to deliver on key infrastructure projects, from roads and bridges to clean energy and resiliency in Massachusetts.” “Registered Apprenticeship is a successful workforce development model that our administration is committed to expanding,” said Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll. “The Biden-Harris Administration’s investment will help us not only achieve our goals but further our efforts and reach even more individuals and businesses.” Through the USDOL, State
Apprenticeship Expansion Formula grants support states to engage industry
partners, create post-secondary education career pathways and develop the
talent pipeline needed to meet the skill needs of their local labor
markets. The investments are part of the second round of State
Apprenticeship Expansion Formula funding the department has awarded. The
funding advances the Biden-Harris administration’s goals to expand, modernize
and diversify Registered Apprenticeship for all American workers, including
women, people of color, individuals with disabilities and other underserved
communities. “As part of our workforce agenda, the Healey-Driscoll Administration is bridging partnerships through strategies like Registered Apprenticeship to close skills gaps and create more pathways for untapped talent in Massachusetts,” said Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Lauren Jones. “We appreciate the support of the Biden-Harris Administration so we can leverage new funding that will provide meaningful career pathways across several high growth industries and with committed employers ready to build their workforce in Massachusetts.” “Building
on the investments made by the Healey-Driscoll administration and the
Legislature, these federal grant funds will help us grow high quality
apprenticeship programs in the Commonwealth,” said Undersecretary
Josh Cutler. “Our team at the Division of Apprentice Standards is
ready to leverage these funds, engage with more employers, and unlock
opportunities for Massachusetts jobseekers and workers.” The USDOL award for Massachusetts builds on the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s commitment to growing Registered Apprenticeship. In February, the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development announced $5 million in Apprenticeship Expansion and Opportunity Grants, including a combination of state and federal funds, to 25 organizations to train and place apprentices across the state. The FY25 budget continued these investments with nearly $3.5 million to support registered apprenticeship and expand to industries like health care, life sciences, education, and advanced manufacturing while also enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion for the construction and building trades. The Healey-Driscoll Administration’s $1 billion tax cut package included expanded eligibility for the Registered Apprenticeship Tax Credit, which offers employers a $4,800 credit for each apprentice hired. |
