The Bureau of Labor and Industries is accepting applications for the 2 round of BOLI Apprenticeship Grants Program for labor organizations.
Donor Name: Bureau of Labor and Industries
State: Oregon
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 09/02/2022
Size of the Grant: $10,000
Details:
The Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Apprenticeship and Training Division (ATD) has been awarded $18.9 Million in grant funding to be awarded through three consecutive application rounds. These funds will support the development, expansion and implementation of registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs. The funds will accelerate innovation in health care and manufacturing apprenticeships and support the development of pre-apprenticeship training programs in healthcare, manufacturing, and construction.
The investment known as “Future Ready Oregon” was funded by the Oregon State Legislature in Senate Bill 1545 (SB 1545). This Bill increases BOLI’s ability to offer Oregonians even more options to attain family-sustaining wages through apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
Funding Information
- The total amount for grants in Round 2 shall be limited to ten million dollars ($10,000,000) with amounts divided by targeted industry and service type.
- The Council may at its discretion award one or multiple grants between $10,000 and the anticipated total.
Eligibility Criteria
The Council will award grants to proposed new pre‐apprenticeship (construction, manufacturing, health care) and registered apprenticeship programs (manufacturing, health care), per the requirements of SB 1545. Additional awards will be granted to qualifying existing pre‐apprenticeship (construction, manufacturing, health care) and registered apprenticeship programs (manufacturing, healthcare) for training expansion. Community‐based organizations, labor organizations, local workforce development boards, and other entities are encouraged to apply in support of the development and implementation of pre‐apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship training programs that will prioritize program participation and success by individuals from priority populations as defined in SB 1545. Applicants from Eastern and Southern Oregon are especially encouraged to apply.
