A $40 million U.S. Department of Labor Pay-for-Performance Apprenticeship Grant will support efforts to expand Registered Apprenticeship opportunities in high-demand industries nationwide.
Led by Florida Commerce, the initiative focuses on strengthening the nation's defense industrial base and shipbuilding workforce while also targeting aerospace and aviation, advanced manufacturing, construction industry trades, and other ship- and boat-building sectors.
The performance-based model ties federal funding to measurable outcomes, providing incentive payments to Registered Apprenticeship sponsors as apprentices reach verified retention and progression milestones.
