SUMMARY:Our First Youth Apprenticeship Week
DESCRIPTION:National Apprenticeship Week begins today and will run until Friday\, November 19th. It’s a nationwide celebration that brings together employers\, industry associations\, labor organizations\, community-based organizations\, workforce partners\, education providers\, and government leaders to raise awareness of the vital role of Registered Apprenticeship. \nThis year\, the theme of National Apprenticeship Week is “Registered Apprenticeship: Superhighway to Good Jobs.” It recognizes the importance of Registered Apprenticeship as a proven\, industry-driven career pathway leading to good\, quality jobs and financially rewarding careers in diverse industry sectors. Registered Apprenticeship is a crucial strategy to meet our nation’s workforce needs in critical industries such as education\, advanced manufacturing\, healthcare\, clean energy\, cybersecurity\, and other high-needs sectors. It is also a model that fast-tracks a person’s journey into good-paying jobs and can improve diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and accessibility in the workplace. \nThroughout this week\, we will highlight the success and value of Registered Apprenticeship by focusing on a range of daily themes\, including Registered Apprenticeship for Youth\, Registered Apprenticeship in New and Emerging Industries\, Expanding Registered Apprenticeship to Underserved Populations\, Women in Registered Apprenticeship\, and Registered Apprenticeship for Veterans and Federal Employees. \nEarlier today\, Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su announced the selection of the initial cohort of 57 youth apprentices and recent graduates chosen to serve as Apprentice Trailblazers. These young people will share their perspectives and highlight how Registered Apprenticeships increase opportunities for underserved populations. We also announced the first annual Youth Apprenticeship Week\, which will be held from May 5-11\, 2024. This initiative highlights the benefits and value of Registered Apprenticeship programs for people aged 16-24. \nThroughout the week\, events will spotlight how historically underrepresented and underserved populations\, such as women\, people of color\, people with disabilities\, and young adults\, can unleash their potential through pre-apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship. We invite you to join us at one of the hundreds of events nationwide during National Apprenticeship Week. Please stay connected with us on social media by following @USDOL and using the hashtags #NAW2023 and #ApprenticeshipUSA. We’ll be sharing exciting updates and insights throughout the week. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the hosts of these events and the partners who’ve shown their support by signing numerous proclamations in favor of Registered Apprenticeship and its power to change lives.

SUMMARY:$98M in YouthBuild Funding Available for Delivery of Pre-apprenticeships in High-demand Industries
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has announced the availability of $98 million in YouthBuild funding to support the delivery of pre-apprenticeships in high-demand industries\, including construction\, healthcare\, information technology\, and hospitality. \n\n\nFunded through DOL’s YouthBuild Program\, the grants will help provide educational guidance\, occupational skills training\, and employment services to disadvantaged young people\, ages 16 to 24\, in communities where barriers to academic and career skills development persist. \nThe program aligns with the historic federal investments in the Biden-Harris administration’s Investing in America agenda to create good jobs. They also support the department’s Youth Employment Works strategy to ensure youth find “no wrong door” when accessing employment and supportive services. \nAdministered by the department’s Employment and Training Administration and supported by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act\, the YouthBuild Program will fund individual grants for about 75 projects ranging from $700\,000 to $1.5 million. \nYouthBuild Program funding has enabled program participants to support initiatives in construction\, technology\, and the care economy that include the following efforts: \n\nIn Ohio\, County Corp works with the Dayton Energy Collaborative to reduce the energy burden on more than 30\,000 households in Dayton whose incomes fall below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. In Texas\, American YouthWorks collaborates with the Workforce Solutions-Capitol Area Workforce Board in Austin to employ a pre-apprenticeship program that connects participants with employment in healthcare\, information technology\, and skilled trades.\nIn Nevada\, Chicanos Por La Causa participants are building two single-family homes in collaboration with Southern Nevada Local Laborers Training Trust 872. The project also offers participants welding\, nursing\, and information technology training.\nIn Tennessee\, the Knoxville Leadership Foundation combines experienced staff\, a proven workforce model\, and a network of 52 employers and service providers who create construction and culinary arts career paths for participants.\n\nLearn more about the YouthBuild Funding Opportunity and apply.
