The U.S. Department of Labor recently awarded approximately $22 million in contract investments to 12 Industry Intermediaries to continue the Department’s efforts to expand the number of apprenticeship opportunities in growing sectors across the country.
This effort will further Registered Apprenticeship expansion strategies in high growth industries including information technology (IT), cybersecurity, telecommunications and 5G advanced manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare and health IT, transportation and logistics, and energy.
Industry Intermediaries are organizations uniquely positioned to convene employers within an industry or sub-sector to determine skill needs and workforce trends and to work with employers on a regional and national level to develop apprenticeship programs with the goal of increasing the number of apprenticeship opportunities.
“With today’s contract awards, the Department is increasing transparency and accountability for our diversity, equity, and expansion efforts in the Registered Apprenticeship program,” said Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training John Pallasch. “Today’s awards replace outdated contract awards by funding and creating greater collaboration across partners to deliver measurable results for our customers.”
Industry Intermediaries continue to serve as a conduit between employers and other industry partners and the Department’s Office of Apprenticeship to accelerate apprenticeship program development and help create new sector-based apprenticeship partnerships at the regional and national level. Industry Intermediaries usually specialize in a specific sector but some may possess expertise that cut across more than one market.
As part of this effort, each of the intermediaries are committed to enrolling an average of 750 Registered Apprentices or more a year over the life of the contract through strategies that engage employers and industry; leverage key partnerships; reduce program development time for key occupations in target industries; and increase the number of new apprentices.

Original Opportunity Notice: ETA-TEGL-15-19
The U.S. Department of Labor awarded $81,046,170 in grants intended to support activities that improve states’ ability to serve, improve and expand the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) model by strengthening the national apprenticeship system, promoting system alignment and partnership, and improving data sharing and data integrity.
The “Building State Capacity to Expand Apprenticeship through Innovation” grants support statewide RAP expansion through a two-tiered funding system that provides states with maximum flexibility to address local apprenticeship needs while enhancing the focus on employer engagement, performance, and positive outcomes for apprentices. Administered by the Department’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA), the Department awarded grants to 42 states and U.S. territories.
“Registered Apprenticeship Programs provide workers with the right skills needed in today’s labor market and can have a positive impact in fixing the skills gap that employers face,” said Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training John Pallasch. “This will be a great opportunity for young people who want to combine on-the-job training with relevant classroom education, while getting paid at the same time.”
“We thought it necessary to reward states who have demonstrated excellent performance in one of the Department’s key policy objectives,” Pallasch added. “The Department believes positive outcomes for those we serve must carry more weight as we look to award funding.”
The Department awarded funds to states and U.S. territories that applied for Tier I funding to help support the programs’ goals. In addition to Tier I funding, 12 states received additional funds under Tier II, ranging from $3 million to $9 million, based on the number and quality of Tier II applications received, as well as strong evidence of past performance in expanding RAPs; other factors included geographic, industry and Tier II goal distribution. With these additional funds, the selected states will go above-and-beyond supporting the state’s basic Registered Apprenticeship structures in the state. These activities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Expanding registered apprenticeships in healthcare, mental health care, addiction treatment, or alternative pain management occupations providing support to individuals living in rural areas;
- Incorporating specific strategies to support or expand Registered Apprenticeship opportunities among all workers, including women, minorities, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and individuals with a criminal record;
- Supporting system alignment and partnership through the establishment or expansion of the role of the business service representatives/apprenticeship navigators with the promotion of apprenticeship to partner systems;
- Developing innovative technical assistance strategies/approaches for Registered Apprenticeship sponsors;
- Establishing an employer incentive plan to expand or scale Registered Apprenticeships;
- Identifying specific strategies to support engagement with small businesses in nontraditional industries in Registered Apprenticeships; and
- Launching or expanding sector strategies to expand RAPs to new industries and/or new or non-traditional occupations in existing sectors.

The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration awarded $99,281,216 in grant investments to 28 grantees for the H-1B Apprenticeships: Closing the Skills Gap grant program in February 2020.
The primary goal of this grant program is to increase apprenticeship opportunities for all Americans by accelerating the expansion of apprenticeships to industry sectors and occupations that have not traditionally deployed apprenticeships for building a skilled workforce, such as advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and health care and by promoting the large-scale expansion of apprenticeships across the nation to a range of employers, including small and medium-sized employers.
The Apprenticeships: Closing the Skills Gap grantees are represented by 17 institutions of higher education (IHE) and 11 nonprofit trade, industry, or employer associations; labor unions; or labor management organizations. All grant projects feature an Apprenticeship Partnership, which is a partnership of public and private sector entities that include the lead applicant, an IHE (if the lead applicant is not an IHE), employer partners and optional partners. The optional partners can include organizations to support outreach and training activities, Small Business Development Centers, community organizations that provide social support and/or wrap-around services, and optional workforce partners.
Program Activities: The Apprenticeships: Closing the Skills Gap grant program will expand apprenticeship opportunities within H-1B occupations and industry sectors, particularly those sectors that have not deployed apprenticeships on a large scale previously. These include in-demand cybersecurity professions and emerging occupations involving artificial intelligence (AI) across several industry sectors.
Grantees will increase the number and types of workers participating as apprentices by establishing new apprenticeship programs or expanding existing apprenticeship programs; creating the training infrastructure/network to deploy the new programs; promoting apprenticeship programs on a local/regional, statewide, or national scale; and developing training activities for an expanded pool of individual apprentices in the newly certified or expanded programs.
Grantees proposed new or expanded apprenticeship programs in H-1B Industries: advanced manufacturing, health care and information technology, with some grantees giving a particular focus to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence in the manufacturing and clean energy industry, wireless technology and broadband, and artificial intelligence in the transportation and supply chain industry.

In Summer 2019, DOL awarded $7.7 million through four contracts to Jobs for the Future (JFF), NetAmerica, Urban Institute, and ICF, who serve as youth apprenticeship intermediaries. These intermediaries assist educational institutions, employers, industry associations, joint-labor management organizations, States, grantees, and other organizations to launch in- and out-of-school youth apprenticeship programs to rapidly accelerate the “earn and learn” model across multiple industries and sectors to meet the occupational and skill needs of those industries.
The Youth Apprenticeship Intermediaries help develop and/or strengthen youth apprenticeship programs by infusing the apprenticeship model as the “go-to” human capital solution in national, regional, and state career readiness for various career paths through the following activities:
- Train 900 youth apprentices over five years across various industries.
- Increase youth apprenticeship brand awareness through online platforms and a Challenge Competition
- Host employer/industry meetings and conferences
- Connect high school students to employers under a Registered Apprenticeship program
- Integrate youth apprenticeship into school systems
- Create new apprenticeship programs or expand existing ones
- Develop best practices and success stories

The U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (ETA) awarded approximately $184 million in grants to 23 grantees for the Scaling Apprenticeship through Sector-Based Strategies grant program in June 2019. The primary goal of this grant program is to accelerate the expansion of apprenticeships to new industry sectors reliant on H-1B visas, such as information technology (IT) and IT-related industries, advanced manufacturing, and health care. In addition, the grant program will increase the level of apprenticeship activity among employers within these industry sectors that have not traditionally implemented apprenticeship programs, particularly small- and medium-sized businesses.
Scaling Apprenticeship will promote the large-scale expansion of apprenticeships across the nation by supporting the training of thousands of apprentices in new or expanded programs and by assisting partners in their efforts to create and scale the new or expanded apprenticeship programs. This grant program will also increase apprenticeship opportunities for all Americans, particularly veterans, military spouses and those individuals currently underrepresented in existing apprenticeship programs.
Program Activities: This grant program will expand apprenticeship opportunities within H-1B industry sectors, particularly those that have not deployed apprenticeships on a large scale previously, and increase the number and types of workers participating as apprentices. To achieve these goals, projects will undertake activities within each of the following categories:
- Deploying apprenticeship training. Grant funds will be used primarily to support the training of thousands of apprentices in new or expanded programs. Training and training-related activities will include the academic and work-based training itself, as well as supportive services, such as childcare and transportation, designed to assist apprentices to participate and remain in an apprenticeship program.
- Taking apprenticeships to scale. Assisting partners in their efforts to create and scale the new or expanded apprenticeship programs is another critical component of the work under this grant program. Projects will establish new apprenticeship programs, create the training infrastructure/network necessary to deploy these programs, expand existing apprenticeships, and promote all grant-funded apprenticeship programs on a national scale.
Grants totaling $183,883,271 were awarded to 23 partnerships in local and state service areas across the country, and will ultimately expand to reach a national scale.

In 2016, DOL awarded a $50.5M grant to expand Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) in the states, with an emphasis on high-growth industries and underserved populations. The investment marked the first time that the Federal Government provided funding to support States in efforts to expand and diversify RAPs to better respond to industry workforce demands. In many states, apprenticeship is a component of, but not fully integrated into State economic, workforce, and education talent development systems. These grants provided an opportunity to further align resources to innovate and expand apprenticeship.
In Spring 2018, DOL made approximately $50 million in continuation funding available to the 37 State Apprenticeship Expansion grantees to enable states to continue their work to expand apprenticeship with the goal of sparking an additional 10 percent growth over the following two years of the grant period of performance.
