Office of Workforce Development awards grants to pre-apprenticeship programs throughout Missouri

5/6/2021

 
     The Missouri Office of Workforce Development (OWD) recently released a list of pre-apprenticeship programs that will be receiving grants of up to $50,000 as part of the Missouri Apprentice Ready initiative.
     Pre-apprenticeship is a program or set of services designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship program.
     Missouri Apprentice Ready, which launched in February 2021, is an initiative that invests U.S. Department of Labor funds toward the development of pre-apprenticeship opportunities,  supporting pathways to Registered Apprenticeships.
     Community colleges, local workforce development boards, and career and technical education programs submitted proposals to apply for the grant funding.   Approximately $1 million in federal funds will be disbursed among these programs, serving roughly 350 potential pre-apprentices across 40 different occupations.   
    The following applicants have been awarded grants:
AFLCIO Missouri Works Initiative
East Central College
SLATE
Full Employment Council
Jefferson College
Northeast Missouri Workforce Development Board
Metropolitan Community College
Special School District of St. Louis County – Adult Technical Education Department – STL Training
St Louis Carpenters Joint Apprenticeship Program
Workforce Development Board of Southeast Missouri
     The goal of Missouri Apprentice Ready is to create new pre-apprenticeship programs, increase the diversity of Registered Apprenticeships, and increase active apprentices in existing programs through pre-apprenticeship.
     Missouri saw 3,388 Registered Apprenticeships completed in FY 2020, more than any other state except California. Missouri has more than 13,000 active apprentices participating in more than 400 programs.
