Solicitation Profile |
The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) is making up to $4.1 million in funding available under the Apprenticeship Expansion Grant (AEG) Request for Applications (RFA). The purpose of this RFA is to expand Registered Apprenticeship (RA) training by increasing employment opportunities for approximately 800 new apprentices with a focus on underrepresented populations. These new apprentices will enter into trades in high-demand occupations, with a focus on the emerging fields of Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Information Technology, as well as other in-demand occupations. This funding will cover costs associated with the provision of training apprentices through RA, such as Related Instruction (RI), On-the-Job Training (OJT), books, and tools. Please note that O*NET codes under the job family Construction (47) are restricted under this AEG RFA unless the trade is to be used for the upkeep and maintenance of a facility owned by the business entity employing the apprentice. A list of those occupations can be found online: https://www.onetonline.org/find/family?f=47
All awards are subject to funding availability. Applications/proposals will be accepted on an ongoing basis until no later than 4:00 PM EST on March 29, 2019. In addition to registering in the Grants Gateway system, applicants must be prequalified in the Grants Gateway system (https://grantsgateway.ny.gov) no later than the due date for the submission of applications or the NFP organization’s proposal will not be reviewed. For additional information on registration and prequalification, please log on to the Grants Gateway web-site http://www.grantsreform.ny.gov/Grantees or contact the Grants Reform Team at: grantsreform@its.ny.gov. The Grants Reform help desk/hotline can be reached at (518) 474-5595.
