2022 StartToday SD Business Incentive Awardees
As part of DLR’s ongoing Registered Apprenticeship expansion efforts, funds were made available to support employers, registered apprenticeship sponsors, and education or training providers interested in the development of new Registered Apprenticeship Programs. Businesses could apply for up to a maximum of $10,000 in funding to help offset the initial start-up costs when developing a new program. U.S. DOL Apprenticeship State Expansion Grant funds 100% of this initiative. Awardees will spend the next few months working closely with Department of Labor staff to develop their programs and submit them to U.S. DOL for approval by National Apprenticeship Week in November.
